The Pulaski County School District is celebrating its remarkable performance with the recent release of state testing results. Superintendent Patrick Richardson noted, “All of our schools are among the highest-scoring in the state. Our whole community has so much to be proud of. Our students are learning well, working hard, and putting forth greater effort in their studies and on these important tests that tell us all how we’re doing as a school system. We have considerable support from parents and families, which makes a big difference. And I am especially grateful for our teachers and staff, who are dedicated to instructing, leading, and motivating our students, and who are too often underappreciated in our current political and social climate. Our teachers and staff are among the best in Kentucky.”

The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) was administered in May, and scores for every public school in the state are now available to the public. Here’s how Pulaski County Schools stacked up against other districts:

--Elementary Schools: Top 6% – Ranked #11 of 182 districts

--Middle Schools: Top 13% – Ranked #23 of 182 districts

--High Schools: Top 12% – Ranked #22 of 178 districts

Congratulations to Zach Smith, Counselor at Pulaski Elementary School.  He was awarded a Social Emotional Learning grant from the KY Association of Schools Counselors.  Grants were awarded for the purpose of creating calming and self-regulation areas within the school building for students to have access to. Mr. Smith applied for this competitive grant with the idea to create a "mobile" calming unit where students have access throughout the school day without having to come to the front office. This space will have books and resources for learning self-regulation strategies as well as sensory items that are useful in grounding techniques and coping skills. 

The Pulaski County Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) was started in 2013, and this year will celebrate ten years of providing free books to children in Pulaski County.

Our goal is for every eligible child in the Pulaski County School System to be a part of the DPIL. To be eligible, the child must be age birth to five and live in Pulaski County.  For more information and to enroll, click HERE.

The Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) scores have been released and Pulaski County Schools is a high ranking district in Kentucky.  Overall, our elementary schools rank within the top 6%, middle schools within the top 10%, and high schools within the top 17%.  We're proud of our students, teachers, and staff, and we're grateful for the support we receive from our community partners!  We strive to meet the needs of each child, and continuously improve their educational experiences.  Way to Go Pulaski County Schools!
