Kenton County School District announces results of district’s latest Kentucky Summative Assessment


Kenton County School District (KCSD) on announced the district’s 2024–25 School Report Card is now available.

School and district report cards share information about student performance, teacher qualifications, school climate and safety, and other key measures. Results from the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) — given annually to Kentucky public school students in grades 3–8, 10, and 11 — are included in the report.

KSA measures student proficiency and progress on Kentucky Academic Standards in reading, math, science, social studies, and writing. Kentucky’s accountability system uses a five-color rating to report overall performance: Blue (Very High), Green (High), Yellow (Medium), Orange (Low), and Red (Very Low).

For the second consecutive year, KCSD earned an overall High/Green rating at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Overall school ratings are as follows: Blue (very high): Ryland, Woodland, Dixie; Green (High): Caywood, Fort Wright, Hinsdale, Kenton, Summit View Elementary, Taylor Mill Elementary, Summit View Middle, Turkey Foot, Twenhofel, Scott, Simon Kenton; Yellow (Medium): Beechgrove, Piner, River Ridge, White’s Tower.

The 2025 KCSD School Report Card strength areas include but are not limited to the following:

• 14 of 18 schools performed at the High (Green) or Very High (Blue) levels overall.
