A virtual academy in Kentucky has had 3 years of low scores. What to know

A Kentucky school district with a virtual academy saved by state lawmakers in 2025 has now logged a third straight year of poor academic performance. Cloverport Independent’s elementary, middle and high school levels all received the state’s lowest ratings in 2024, 2025 and into 2026, though some grade levels showed modest gains this year. FULL STORY: KY lawmakers saved a virtual school. Now it has 3 straight years of bad scores Here are five key things to know from our reporting: Enrollment imbalance: Cloverport Independent has 230 in-person K-12 students, while 2,073 students attend its Kentucky Virtual Academy — about 90% of the district’s total enrollment. Latest scores: In October, 2026 results showed Cloverport elementary students remained at a “red” rating, the state’s lowest, while middle and high school levels rose slightly to “orange.” Superintendent’s response: Keith Haynes said many virtual students “were not experiencing success in traditional schools and came to us with significant academic deficits,” and told families he doesn’t believe the state’s accountability model “adequately accounts for our context.” How it stayed open: The 2025 General Assembly passed legislation barring enrollment caps on virtual academies, overriding a Kentucky Department of Education rule that would have limited virtual

Kentucky WBB cruises past Evansville behind Emily McDonald

Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before freshman Emily McDonald made an splash for the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team . They might not have known what would happen on Wednesday night in game four of the season, though, when she would set a record, and lead her team to a 98-30 rout of Evansville. McDonald didn't check into the game until late in the first quarter, but she immediately hit her first three-pointer. By night's end, she had made nine shots from behind the arc, a new team record, and scored a team-leading 27 points. Though McDonald was the story, she wasn't the only Wildcat to excel. Me'Arah O'Neal also had a big game, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, and recording 18 points and 8 rebounds. Ajsa Sivka added 12 points. Clara Strack had 11 points and 3 blocks. This was a game against an less talented team that Kentucky was supposed to win, so it was more about finding a rhythm, and gaining valuable experience together. For McDonald, it was a breakout party, and the first of what will likely be many big games. This article originally appeared on UK Wildcats Wire: Kentucky WBB

Should TN's botched execution affect KY's death penalty? State's lawyers argue no

A Franklin County judge will decide whether he wants to add or remove claims from a death penalty case that has rolled on for more than two decades. In the latest twist in a long case, attorneys for several of Kentucky’s death-row prisoners asked Judge Phillip Shepherd to reconsider claims he previously dismissed in a death penalty lawsuit after the failed execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike. David Barron, an attorney for 13 of Kentucky’s death row prisoners, filed a motion in October asking Shepherd to reinstate two claims to the lawsuit that, if successful, would allow attorneys of inmates to view IV insertion, and to have prompt access to a telephone during their client’s IV insertion. Barron pointed to Pike’s failed execution as a reason why Kentucky should implement these two measures during executions. But the state and department of corrections disagree, saying that bringing the claims back is speculative. “Even Tennessee doesn’t know what happened,” said department of corrections attorney Crystal Thompson. “What happened in Tennessee doesn’t have an effect on what is happening here.” At a hearing Tuesday afternoon, Shepherd heard arguments from both sides and plans to take them into account before a decision is
