Anderson County Schools highlight KSA gains; district ranks in top 19% statewide
Summary
Superintendent and assessment lead reported district-level KSA gains, placing Anderson County in the top 19% of Kentucky districts (rank 33 of 172) and noted school-level performance details and focus areas for growth.
Superintendent and assessment director Bobby Murphy presented KSA assessment results to the Anderson County Board on Oct. 14, reporting the district ranked 33 of 172 school districts — in the top 19.2% statewide — and detailing school‑level performance and improvement targets.
Bobby Murphy said the district saw "top 19.2% of all districts in the state" and summarized that elementary schools scored in the top ~26.7%, middle schools ~13.9%, and the high school placed in the top one‑third. He highlighted specific school status and change indicators and noted areas for focused improvement such as reading, math, science and writing across several schools.
Murphy walked the board through accountability indicators (reading, math, science, social studies, writing and QSCS survey results) and flagged that some schools were close to higher color designations: "RBT scored green overall 82.7" and Saffle Street was close to yellow status at a 54.4 score. The presentation included graduation rate improvements and postsecondary readiness gains at the high school level.
Board members asked for the co‑op ranking details and were told the district was among the top performers, with one member noting a tie for second in the regional co‑op. The assessment team identified specific focus areas — strengthen Saffle Street achievement, improve high‑school reading and math results, and close subgroup achievement gaps — and outlined next steps for multi‑tiered supports and curriculum‑instruction alignment.
