Education

Carroll County Schools’ accountability scores fell significantly according to testing data released to the public Oct. 1, by the Kentucky Department of Education.

The Annual Measurable Objectives score for the district was 59.6, down 3.8 points from last year and falling short of the district goal by 4.8 points. This put Carroll County in the 28th percentile in the state of Kentucky, compared to the 51st percentile last year.

“Last Tuesday [Sept. 22] was the first night that I have gone home and felt that the [Carroll County Middle School] renovation would be ready by the Oct. 2, deadline,” Carroll County Schools Chief Operating Officer Larry Curell said at the Sept. 24, Carroll County School Board of Education meeting.

Carroll County Superintendent Bill Hogan reported that all of the tile is down except for a one-foot border and there is only some touch up painting left.  He expected the tile and paintwork to be completed Sept. 25.
