There were 963 kindergarten students enrolled in Bullitt County schools in the 2022-23 school year, 2.2% less than the previous year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Freedom Elementary School welcomed most of the kindergarten students in the county, registering 104 students.

Within Bullitt County schools, the highest student population was found in ninth grade, with the smallest class sizes seen in preschool.

Statewide, Bullitt County ranked ninth in enrollment numbers. It was also ranked ninth the year before.

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.
