SECONDARY EDUCATION IN KENTUCKY

Schools and Types of Organimiion. There are 783 high school
organizations in Kentucky. This number is in cont ‘ast to 808 such
(,n‘ganizations last year. Of the 783 high schools reporting this year,
(386 are complete organizations, i. e., they oli’er work through the
twelfth grade. More than one-half of these complete organizations are
organized as six-year high schools (grades 7—12). This number repre—
sents an increase of .18 such organizations since last year. There are
295 of the complete high schools organized on the traditional four—
year basis (grades 942). This number represents a decrease of 24
such organizations since last year. It is apparent from these figures
that‘the movement in favor of the six—year high school. has developed
so rapidly in this state that it appears it is to become the standard
rather' than simply another form of high school organization. This
seems to be true in both county and independent districts. Last year
there were 7 senior high schools (grades ltl~l2) ; this year there are S).
Last year there were 29 junior high school organizations (grades
7—9) ; this year there are 3")" . The number of schools organized on the
9—11 and 7~10 basis is practically the same as last year. The big
decrease in numbers of high school organizations has taken place in
those organized on the twoyear basis (grades 9-10). Last year there
were 33 schools of this type; this year there are 18.

The following table gives data regarding the types of high school
organizations in Kentucky.

The above table shows that 348 of our high schools enroll less than
100 pupils. This number is in contrast to 407 such. schools last year.
In other words there has been a decrease of 5.0 high schools with en roll-
ments of less than 100 pupils. Last year there were 246 high scllOOlS
enrolling 100499 pupils. This year there are 253 such schools, or an
increase of 7. Last year there were 117 high schools that enrolled
200—499 pupils. This year there are l4l. or an increase of 24. Last
year 38 high schools had enrollments above, 500 pupils. This year
there are 41, or an increase of 3. In other words the day is passing
when we shall think of high schools in Kentucky as small tl1irty-. fort)".
or fifty-pupil schools. We are definitely headed in the direction of
high schools that enroll 100 or more pupils. \Vhen one considers that
among the high schools enrolling less than 100 pupils that there are 4‘7
private schools and 46 high schools for Negroes, it becomes apparent
that Kentucky does not rate so badly when we recognize that in thP

Nation as a, whole the median high school enrollment is less than l0“
pupils.

The number of small, struggling high schools which continue to
exist: are not; continuing because of any conviction of their worth, but
rather because of such factors as sparseness of population in areas
where they are located, inadequate financial ability of certain counties
to ope “ate a better system of schools, or poor road conditions for
transportation to larger and better high school centers. .In some. sec—
tions it has been a question whether to have a very small high school
or no high school at all. 111 counties where the population is fairly
dense and roads are good, one expects to find consolidated high schools
with enrollments large enough to justify a rich and board program
of work.

As has been pointed out, the percentage of small high schools is
decreasing. More and more county boards of education and taxpayers
are becoming convinced that small high schools should be regarded as
concessions to tuitoward conditions rather than as things to he desired.

An examination of the annual reports ol’ high schools employing
l‘ewer than five or six teachers and enrolling fewer than 125 or 150
pupils. as well as an obscr 'ation of their operation. convinces one ot’
the limitations of these schools. llsually one finds that. the experience
ol" the teachers in these schools is less than the experience of teachers
in larger schools. The teaching load of teachers in the small high
schools is usually greater than that of teachers in high schools with
Hill or more pupils as judged by the number of classes taught, the
number of different daily preparations, the number of different: sub—
jects taught, and the number of subjects taught in fields in which the
teacher is poorly trained. Also in the small high school one usually
finds that science, shop and library equipment is inferior, extra-
curricular activities are limited, cost of instruction per pupil is high
and curricular offerings are confined largely to academic, college
preparatory subjects. In addition to these items of weakness in the
small high school. one usually finds that the general tone and dignity
ol' the larger high schools are more desirable as are also the 0])])0]'«
tunit ies for contacts which stimulate worth—while social and personal
development on the part ot’ the students.

it, is hoped that county school authorities and those who support
the schools will see the wisdom of abandoning many of their small,
expensive and usually inefficient high schools through t'ansporting
their pupils to larger community centers where a broade‘ and more
enriched program of work is provided. Every county superintendent
and every county board in counties where small, struggling high
schools are ope 'ated should carefully survey the possibility of pro-
viding the boys and girls of these little schools with the opportunities
that are offered pupils in larger centers. To bring this about generally

5

 

  

requires a high type of leadership, since such proposals often run afoul
of local pride, community jealousies and nonedueational interest of
the people themselves. It is only in this way, however, that secondary
education in rural areas can provide boys and girls with a program of
work that better fits them for college or for passage directly into life
activities if college entrance is not possible.

decrease in the number of private secondary schools and a more
marked decrease in the number of public White high schools. The
decrease in the number of. public white high schools is a result of the
merger of small county high schools into larger high school units.

. “ Beginning: with 'the school year 1932—33, the enrollments of the 7th and 8th
3:21]? of Six—year high schools and of junior high schools are included in the

Table V presents an interesting picture of the increase in high
school enrollments in the different types of high schools since 1915
to the present day. In this increase in high school enrollments, one
finds an increase that is many times greater than the increase in the
state ’s population during the same period. Only one conclusion can
be drawn from these figures and that is the growing success of the
ideal of high school education for all boys and girls of high school age
in the state.

The character ol" our high school population has changed greatly
since 1915. Then the high school was thought of only as a school for
the few rather than an institution for the many. In fact prior to 1908,
there were fewer than 50 high schools in the state. They were small,
enrolling fewer than 5,000 pupils and were all located in cities.
Practically all boys and girls who lived in rural areas were without
high school advantages except in so far as private schools were
organized. Many of these private schools did not otter work beyond
the eighth or ninth grades. It was not until 1908 that the counties

7

 

  

 

were legally bound to establish high schools and it was not. until 1914
that districts independent of the county system were required by law
to provide high school education for their boys and girls. Since the
date of these legal demands on county and independent districts, the
growth in numbers of high schools and enrollments has been
phenomenal.

The above has been written for two purposes; first, to show that
the idea of public secondary education is of comparatively recent date
in this state, and, second, that the phenomenal development of this
idea has within it significant implications for those who administer
public secondary schools in both county and independent districts.
It was once thought that the public high school vas intended for
select economic and social groups and that prepa ‘ation for college was
its chief aim. Today, however, when one notes that only thirty per
cent of those who finish high school enter college, one is conscious of
the fact that our secondary schools are attracting not only the select,
but every other group of our economic and social life. As boys and
girls of all groups of our population continue in increasing nnnlbels
to find their way into high school, then those who administer secondary
education will be called upon more, and more to reorganize high
school work so as to better meet the varied interests, needs, aptitudes
and abilities of those who attend. This calls to ' and will continue to

The above table shows the situation as regards the number of
accredited high schools by years since 1909. When one thinks of a
high school in its true sense, one thinks of an institution that offers a
program of work through the twelfth grade. High schools that are
organized to give work which does not extend through the twelfth
grade, excepting junior high schools (grades 7—9) should be looked
upon as incomplete, feeder schools for regularly organized high
schools, i. e., schools that otter pupils a complete high school program
through the twelfth grade.
