Data showed that Fulton County welcomed a total of 1,050 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Hispanic or Latino students comprised 4.2% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.
Among the four schools in Fulton County, Fulton Independent School recorded the highest enrollment of Hispanic or Latino students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of 25 students, making up 6.7% of the school's total student body.
Despite escaping some of the pandemic's educational disruptions, Kentucky's achievement gaps have remained an issue since 2019. In the eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Hispanic students scored eight points lower than their white peers, and the gap reached 15 points in math. Black students fared even worse, falling more than 20 points behind and facing a failure rate nearly double that of their white counterparts.
