As a district, we were ranked at the 92nd percentile, placing us in the top eight percentile of school districts in Kentucky and giving us a Distinguised-Progressing classification. We are extremely proud of our students, staff, parents, and our community. However, our faculty and staff embody our mission statement, “Excellence Keeps moving” that sums up the district’s focus and demonstrates our determination for continual improvement.

We greatly appreciated the help and support of parents, staff, and our community. We continually strive to improve our school system and meet the challenges set forth by The Kentucky Department of Education to have every graduate, College and/or Career Ready, we need our community to remain interested in engaged in our schools. With continued teamwork and dedication to our goals, every graduate that walks across our stage will be College and Career Ready.

We encourage you to find a way to be a part of the great things going on in Casey County Schools.
