FOREWORD

The purpose of this bulletin, prepared by the staff of the Division
of Instructional Services, Bureau of Instruction, is to present im—
portant information concerning the secondary education program
of the state school system and the classification of the high schools
for the school year 1955-56.

While it is fully recognized that a great number of our high
schools are providing a distinct school service for the boys and
girls within their communities, there are many that fail to satisfac-
torily meet the educational needs of their youth. It is regrettable
that many of these must be classified as emergency schools. \Nith
the full implementation of the Foundation Program, the services
of the Department of Education will be bound more closely to the

local districts in bringing about improvements in the immediate
succeeding years.

I acknowledge with much appreciation the efforts that have been
made in making the material in this bulletin available for publi-
cation, both on the part of the State Department of Education
staff and the local school personnel. I trust that members of the
profession and others will find the information useful.

KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOLS—195556

Kentucky public and private high schools are classified and
accredited by the State Board of Education. This requirement
is set forth in the law which requires that each school district
in the state provide an approved twelve—grade school service and
that rules and regulations be adopted governing the quality of this
service. The law also provides that the “Superintendent of Public
Instruction shall annually prepare or cause to be prepared and submit
for approval and publication by the State Board of Education a list
of all public and private high schools or other secondary schools in
the state showing their classifications.” The classifications are
given 011 recommendation of the Commission 011 Secondary Schools
of the Kentucky Association of Colleges, Secondary, and Elementary
Schools.

This year, the1e are 570 public and private high schools in the state.
Last year, the number was 581. Of the 570 high schools now ope1-
ating, 517 are complete organizations in that they offe1 work
through the twelfth g.rade The remaining 53 high schools are
approved as incomplete feeder schools. Of the 53 incomplete high
schools, 44 are separate junior high schools o1ganized as one distinct
unit offering 33' ork exclusively in grades seven, eight and nine. The
remaining nine high schools are incomplete organizations that offer
work only through the tenth or eleventh grades.

Of the 517 complete high schools, 297 are operated by county
boards of education while 144 are maintained by boards of educa-
tion in independent school districts. The remaining complete organi-
zations are either private secondary schools or schools that are
maintained entirely by the state.

This year, the six- year high schools (grades seven to twelve)
number 202. Last year, they numbered 223. This year, the tra
ditional four— —year high schools (grades nine to twelve) number 271
Last year, they numbered 252. The remaining 44 complete high
school organizations represent modifications of the six- year and the
traditional four— year plans.

Sixteen high schools operated last year that are not operating
this year This does not mean that the total number of high schoolS
was reduced by sixteen because five new high schools have been
organized; hence the loss of eleven in the total number of hlgh
schools for this year as contrasted to the total number of hlg'h
schools that operated last year. Two of the new high schools are

county high schools representing in each case a consolidation of
all the high schools in their respective county systems. The two new
centralized high schools are the Mercer County High School, Har—
rodsburg, Kentucky, and the Scott County High School, Georgetown,
Kentucky. In addition to these schools, a new county high school
was organized in Floyd County to serve a certain number of the
high school pupils in Floyd County together with the pupils from
the independent district of Prestonsburg, which district recently

merged with Floyd County.

The following table presents data regarding the various types of
high school organizations to be found in the state.

Table IV shows that there was a continuous growth in the num—
ber of high schools from 1915 to 1935. In 1935 there were 848 public
and private high schools in the state. This represents the largest
number of high schools that the state has ever had. Now that we
have 570 high schools, public and private, it is clear that there has
been a decrease in the number of high schools of 278 since 1935.
This decrease has come about very largely through the merging of
small high schools into larger school centers.

Table V presents an interesting picture in total high school en-
rollments in different types of high schools (public White, public
Negro, and private) since 1915. High school enrollments increased
rapidly until around 1941, then enrollments began to decrease on
account of the second \Vorld \Var. The lowest total high school en-
rollment was for the school—year 1943-44. Today, the total high
school enrollment is 175,253. This enrollment includes seventh and
eighth grade enrollments in schools that incorporate these grades in
their organizations. There are 134,617 pupils enrolled in grades 9—12.
The total high school enrollment for the current school year is
4,733 more than the total enrollment last year; 3,514 of this increased
enrollment took place in county high schools, 797 located in inde-
pendent school districts, 419 in private secondary schools, and three
in high schools operated by the state.

Table VI shows the situation as regards the number of ac-
credited high schools by years since 1910. \Vhen we use the expres-
sion “accredited high school,” we think of an organization that of-
fers a program of work through the twelfth grade. High schools
that do not give work through the twelfth grade should be looked
upon as incomplete feeder schools for the regularly organized, com-
plete high schools of the district.

Accreditation of high schools is primarily a means to an end.
This end is that of stimulating growth and improvement in the
schools. Originally, accreditation of high schools came about as a
result of the need of institutions of higher learning for some satis-
factory basis for admission to college. In recent years, however, as
a result of increasing numbers of young people continuing through
elementary school into high school, the emphasis upon accreditation
as a basis for college admission has been shifted to that of better
education for all youth. The rapidly changing social, industrial, and
economic world and the marked increase in high school enrollment is
challenging the schools to provide for a diversity of needs and
capacities.

To better provide. for these needs and capacities, a broader and
more varied high school program is demanded. High schools should
not only prepare some pupils for work in higher institutions, but
they should also prepare a larger proportion of the pupils for direct
entrance into business, industry, agriculture, and homemaking. It
is at once apparent that small high schools cannot possibly offer
an enriched program to meeet the needs and capacities of all high
school pupils unless it is done at excessive cost, hence the justifi—
fication of requiring increased enrollment for accreditation of high
schools.
