In 2022, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) created the Kentucky Reading Academies, a partnership between KDE and Lexia's Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS), to provide educators and administrators with 2-year professional learning on evidence-based early literacy instruction. Pulaski County Schools has 55 dedicated teachers who successfully completed LETRS training in Fall 2024. This achievement reflects their unwavering commitment to advancing early literacy education in Pulaski County. To celebrate this milestone, we were honored to have Ashley Hill, KDE Assistant Director of Early Literacy, join us on Monday, October 14th.

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
