SECONDARY EDUCATION IN KENTUCKY

Schools and Types of Organization. There are 758 high schools
of various types in Kentucky. This number is in contrast to 783
high schools operating last year and 808 operating two years ago.
0f the 758 high schools 110W organized, 679 are complete organi—
zations, i. e., they offer a program of studies through the twelfth
grade. More than one half (395) of these complete high schools are
organized as six—year schools (grades 7—12). So continuous has been
the development of this type of high school organization in Kentucky
that we may now consider it the standard rather than just another
form of high school organization. This appears to be true in both
county and independent districts.

The following table presents data regarding the number of the
various types of high school organizations that are found in Ken-
tucky;

The above table not only shows the number of different types
of high school organizations but it also gives the number of high
schools under different types of control—«county districts, independ—
ellt districts, private, state, and municipal. It will be noted that 461
hlgh schools are operated by county boards of education, while 214
311:8 maintained by boards of education in independent school dis-
met‘s' Seventyfive are private secondary schools. The other eight
represent, high schools operated in connection with state teacher
traimng institutions, the state-supported high schools for colored at
Pftducah and Lincoln Ridge, the state school. for the blind at Louis-
mle’ and OI‘mey Village School in Jefferson County, which is
mamtamed by the municipality of Louisville.

The above table shows that 86 high schools enroll fewer than
50 pupils. Last year, 112 high schools enrolled fewer than this
number—a decrease of 26 in the number of these very small high
school organizations. Of the 86 high schools enrolling fewer than
50 pupils, 17 are private schools and 23 are high schools for Negroes.
This table also discloses that there are 302 high schools enrolling
fewer than 100 pupils. Last year, this number was 348. Two years
ago there were 407 high schools enrolling fewer than 100 pupils. 0f
the 302 high schools enrolling fewer than 100 pupils, 47 are public
high schools for Negroes and 43 are private secondary schools. ThiS
table also shows that 194 high schools enroll 200 or more pupils-
This number is in contrast to 182 high schools which last year
enrolled 200 or more pupils and 151 high schools year before laSt.
It is apparent that the day is passing when we shall think in terms
of small thirty-, forty-, or fifty-pupil high schools. We are definitely
headed in the direction of high schools that enroll 100 or more
pupils.

The number of small, struggling high schools which continue to
exist are not continuing because of conviction of their worth, but
rather because of such factors as sparseness of population in areas
where they are located, inadequate financial ability of certalll
counties to operate a better system of schools, or poor road conditions
for transportation to larger and better high school centers. In
some sections it has been a question whether to have a very 5111.3“
high school or no high school at all. In counties where the populatlo11
is fairly dense and roads are good, one expects to find consolidated

high schools with enrollments large enough to justify a fairly rich
and broad program of work.

As has been pointed out, the percentage of small high schools is
decreasing. More and more county boards of education and tax-
payers are becoming convinced that small high schools should
be regarded as concessions to untoward conditions rather than as
things to be desired.

It is hoped that county school authorities and those who support
the schools will see the wisdom of abandoning many of their small,
expensive and usually inefficient high schools through transporting
their pupils to larger community centers where a broader and more
enriched program of work is provided. Every county superintendent
and every county board in counties where small high schools are
operated should carefully survey the possibility of providing the
boys and girls of these little schools with the opportunities that are
offered pupils in larger centers. It is only in this way that secondary
education in rural areas, especially, can provide boys and girls with
a Program of work that better fits them for college or for passage
directly into life activities.

In this connection it should be pointed out that beginning with
the next school year (1940-41), the State Board of Education will
impose the following requirements in reference to the number of
teachers employed and the number of pupils in membership in the
various types of accredited high schools:

Class A High Schools

. (1) Four-year high schools (grades 9—12) and three-year senior
hlgh schools (grades 10—12) shall employ at least five full-time
teachers and have a bona fide enrollment of at least one hundred
pupils.

(2) Six-year high schools (grades 7—12) shall employ at least
seven full-time teachers and have a bona fide enrollment of at least
One hundred and fifty pupils, one hundred of whom shall be
enrolled in grades 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Class B High Schools

(1) Four-year high schools (grades 9—12) shall employ at
least three full-time teachers and have a bona fide enrollment of not
fewer than sixty pupils,

f (2) Six-year high schools (grades (7—12) shall employ at least
0111‘ full-time teachers and have a bona fide enrollment of not fewer

than eightY-fi‘le pupils, sixty of Whom shall be enrolled in grades
9: 10, 11, and 12.

Local school authorities have been notified from time to time
during the past three years that these new regulations were to go into
effect with the beginning of the coming school year.

*Beginning With the school year 1932-33, the enrollments of the 7th. and 8th

gag? 0f Six-year high schools and of junior high schools are included in the

Table V presents an interesting picture of the increase in high
school enrollments in the different types of high schools since 1915
t? the present day. In this increase in high school enrollments, one
finds an increase that is many times greater than the increase in the
state’s population during the same period. Only one conclusion can
be drawn from these figures and that is the growing success of the
Ideaof high school education for all boys and girls of high school
age 111 the state. In this connection it is interesting to note that
along with this increase in enrollment has gone a decrease in the
number of high schools. This is a fact which proves that there is
a Very definite movement throughout the state in the direction oil
fewer and larger high schools.

The character of our high school population has changed greatly
e 1915. Then the high school was thought of only as a school for
Eggsfew rather than an institution for the many. In fact prior to

, there were fewer than 50 high schools in the state. They were
391.3111; enrolling fewer than 5,000 pupils and all were located in
Cltles- Praetically all boys and girls who lived in rural areas were

wit‘hout high school advantages except in so far as private schools
were organized. Many of these private schools did not offer work
beyond the eighth or ninth grades. It was not until 1908 that the
counties were legally bound to establish high schools and it was
not until 1914: that districts independent of the county system were
required by law to prOVide high school education for their boys and
girls. Since the date of these legal demands on county and
independent districts, the growth in numbers of high schools and
enrollments has been phenomenal;

The above has been written for two purposes ; first, to show that
the idea of public secondary education is of comparatively recent
date in this state, and, second, that the phenomenal development of
this idea has within it significant implications for those who
administer public secondary schools in both county and independent
districts. It was once thought that the public high school was
intended for select economic and social groups and that preparation
for college was its chief aim. Today, however, when one notes that
only thirty per cent of those who finish high school enter college, one
is conscious of the fact that our secondary schools are attracting
not only the select, but every other group of our economic and social
life. As boys and girls of all groups of our population continue in
increasing numbers to find their way into high school, then those who

administer secondary education will be called upon more and more to
reorganize high school work so as to better meet the varied interests,
needs, aptitudes and abilities of those who attend. This calls for and
will continue to call for greater adaptation of instruction and subject
matter courses to the economic and social life of today as well as to the
individual differences of pupils.

The above table shows the situation as regards the number of
accredited high schools by years since 1909. When one thinks of a
high school in its true sense, one thinks of an institution that offers a
program of work through the twelfth grade. High schools that are
organized to give work which does not extend through the twelfth
grade, excepting junior high schools (grades 7—9) should be looked
upon as incomplete, feeder schools for regularly organized high
schools, i. c., schools that offer pupils a complete high school program
through the twelfth grade.
