FOREWORD

This bulletin contains much information relative to high schools

in Kentucky. Some data are given regarding every high school .

reported to be in operation at the time this bulletin was prepared.

The official rating given the high schools by the State Board
of Education was made on the recommendation of “The Commission
on Secondary Schools of the Kentucky Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools.” This Commission is composed of the
following members:

P. E. Barker L. C. Henderson . V. F. Payne

W. J. Baird C. I. Henry Juliet J. Poyntcr
R. A. Edwards Sister M. Hilda Allen Puterbaugh
E. E. Gabbard R. E. Jaggers Chas. 0. Ryan
Paul Garrett Sister Mary Aquinas W. S. Taylor
Mark Godman Kelleager Hilda Thrclkeld
J. 0. Gross M. E. Ligon S. B. Tinsley

J. F. McWhorter

The material in this bulletin has been prepared by Mark God-
man and L. N. Taylor, of this Department.

The great demand in the past for copies of a similar publi-
cation indicates that the information contained herein will prove
yaluable to both school officials and citizens generally. I urge a
careful reading of its contents.

SECONDARY EDUCATION IN KENTUCKY

Schools and Types of Organization. The Division of Super-
vision of the State Department of Education has, during the cur—
rent year, received reports from 808 schools in which some type
of high school work is being maintained. This number is in contrast
to 818 high school organizations reported last year. Of the 808
high schools reporting this year, 500 are county high schools, 225
are maintained in independent school districts, 76 are private
secondary schools, While the other 7 include the 5 training schools
operated by the state teacher training institutions, the School for
the Blind in Louisville and the Ormsby Village School in J eiterson
County maintained by the municipality of Louisville.

The following table should give the reader a fairly clear picture
of the number and types of high school organizations that are
operating in Kentucky.

.The table above discloses that there are seven types of high
school organizations in the state. In the above table, 709 of the
high schools are complete organizations, i.e., they offer the student
Work through the twelfth grade. More than one-half of the 709
schools are of the reorganized six-year high school type (grades
7—12). The movement in favor of this type of organization has
Spread so rapidly in this state that it appears that it is to become
the standard rather than simply another form of high school organi-
zation. This appears to be true in both county and” independent;

  

 

   

districts. Next in number of types of high school organizations
is the traditional four-year high school (grades 9—12). Only 7 senior
high schools (grades 10—12) are found in the state, all being located
in independent districts. Considering the other types of organi.
zations in the state, one finds there are 25) properly organiZed
junior high schools (grades 7—9). Sixteen of these are found in
independent districts, while 13 are in county districts. The other
types of organizations, grades 7—10, grades 9—10 and grades 9—11,
70 in number, are confined almost exclusively to county districts.
Observation convinces one that most of these schools are only make-
shifts and that their value, in terms of benefit to pupils and cost
of operation, is highly questionable. It, is hoped that with the advent
of good roads and increased transportation facilities, many if not
all of these infcomplete county “so called” high schools may be
transported to permanent high school centers Where a well-rounded
program of work is offered.

Size of High Schools. The following table should prove
interesting in presenting a picture of Kentucky’s situation as
regards the size of high schools.

The table above shows that the typical high school in this
state is small. More than one—half of the high schools enroll. fewer
than 100 pupils. Kentucky should not despair in this regard since,
according to figures for the nation, the median high school enroll—
ment is less than 100 pupils per high school. When one considers
that among these schools that enroll less than 100 pupils, there are
39 private schools and 20 high schools for Negroes, it becomes
apparent that Kentucky does not rate so badly when compared
with the nation in this regard.

one finds in the state has not resulted so much from a conviction
oftheir worth, but rather because of such factors as sparseness of
population in areas Where they are located, inadequate financial
ability of certain counties to operate a better system of schools,
or poor road conditions for transportation to larger and better
high school centers. In some sections it has been a question whether
to have a very small high school or no high school at all. In
counties Where the population is fairly dense and roads are good,
;one expects to find consolidated high schools with enrollments large
1enough to justify a rich and broad program of work.
i The percentage of small high schools is decreasing. More and
more county boards of education and taxpayers are becoming con-
Minced that small high schools should be regarded as concessions
lto untoward conditions rather than as things to be desired.
E An examination of the annual reports of high schools employing
fewer than five or six teachers and enrolling fewer than 125 or 150
:pupils as well as an observation of their operation convinces one
lot the limitations of these schools. Usually one finds that the
‘ experience of the teachers in these schools is less than the experience
"oi teachers in larger schools. The teaching load of teachers in the
lsniall high schools is usually greater than that of teachers in high
lsohools with 150 or more pupils as judged by the number of classes
ltaught, the number of different daily preparations, the number of
different subjects 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
lDEI‘ pupil is high and curricular offerings are confined largely to
‘academic, collegefpreparatory subjects. In addition to these items
of weakness in the small high school, one also usually finds that
the general tone and dignity of the larger high schools are more
desirable as are also the opportunities for contacts which stimulate
worth while social and personal development on the part of students.
It is hoped that county school authorities and those who sup-
port the schools will see the wisdom of abandoning many of their
small, expensive and usually inefficient high schools through trans-
Porting their pupils to larger community centers Where a broader
and more enriched program of work is provided. Every county
superintendent and every county school board in counties where
3 Small, struggling high schools are operated should carefully survey
the possibility of providing the boys and girls of these little schools
‘ with the opportunities that are ofiered pupils in larger centers. To
bring this about generally requires a high type of leadership, since

such proposals often run afoul of local pride, community jealousies
and the too often present non-educational interest of the people
themselves. It is only in this may, however, that secondary edu-
cation 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.

The following facts relative to the above table should prove
interesting and suggestive:

(1) The number of all children in. grades 9—12 (95,415) is
12.08% of the number (790,032) in the school census, ages six to
eighteen years. It was 12.02% last year.

(2) The number of white children in grades 9—12 (89,260) is
12.20% of the number (731,808) in the school census. It was
12.15% last year.

. (3) The number of. colored childrei in grades 9—12 (6,155) is
10.57% of the number (58,224) in the sci. u- census. It was 10.47%
last year. .

(4) The number of all children beginning the twelfth grade
(17,275) is 55.1% of those beginning the ninth grade (31,328). It
was 43.1% last year.

(5) The number of white children beginning the twelfth grade
(16,329) is 56.2% of those beginning the ninth grade (29,052). It
was 43.4% last year.

(6) The number of colored children beginning the twelfth
grade (946) is 41.6% of those beginning the ninth grade (2,276).
It was 38.1% last year.

The net increase of Kentucky high school enrollments over the
:preceding year is 3,631. It should be observed that the major part
of this increase (8,016) is in the seventh and eighth grades operated
in connection with the regular high school grades. The net increase
in the regular high school grades (grades 9~12) is only 615.

i There was a net loss of 3,448 in grade nine and 103 in grade
eleven. These net losses in alternate years are doubtless due to
the fact that most rural schools teach the eighth grade in alternate
years only. The increase in grades ten and twelve exceed the
idecrease in grades nine and eleven by a total of 615, which represents
.lhe true net increase in the four years of high school over the

enrollment of the pres g year.

There was a small net increase of enrollment in colored schools
‘in all grades except the ninth. The colored are not subject in so
[large proportion to the alternate grade plan in our rural schools
Since only a minority of "hem are in the rural schools.

Information Concerning High School Development. The three
lables that follow should prove interesting and profitable to
‘all who are interested in the development of secondary education
in Kentucky. Each table practically tells its own story and, hence,
little comment regarding each of them is necessary. The informa-
tion contained in these tables is brought up to date and printed for
the first time.

Table V shows a continuous growth in the number of high
schools from 1915-16 to 1934—35. Since 1934-35 there has been an
increase in the number of colored high schools, While there has been
a slight 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 has come
about very largely as a result of the merger of small county high
schools into larger high school units.

The next table gives the high school enrollmentsfrom the
school year 1914-15 through the present year.

Table VI 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 con-
clusion 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 of 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 offer
work beyond the eighth or ninth grades. It was not until 1908 that
the counties were legally bound to establish high schools and it was
not until 1914 that dist1icts 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 phenominal.

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 phenominal 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 was intended
for select economic and social groups and that preparation for
college was its chief aim. Today, however, when one notes that only
30 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 numbers 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 for and will continue to call for greater adaptation of instruc-
tion and subject-matter courses to the economic and social life of
today as well as to the individual differences of pupils.

The above table shows the situation as regards the number of
accredited high schools by years since 1910. When one thinks of
a high school in its true sense, one thinks of an institution that
ofiers 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 organ-
ized high schools, i.e., schools that offer pupils a complete high school
program through the twelfth grade.

It is recognized that our present standards for accrediting high
schools are extremely low. Unquestionably these standards should
and will be raised, especially for high schools which seek Class A
rating.
