Kentucky releases schools report cards. See how NKY districts fared

Fort Thomas and Beechwood schools scored some of the best ratings in Northern Kentucky for reading, math and science proficiency, school safety and graduation rates, per the Kentucky Department of Education's district report cards . Among the districts in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Kentucky, Newport and Covington schools received the lowest ratings on the report cards, released on Oct. 15.

In contrast, the best ratings were demonstrated among the region's most affluent districts – Fort Thomas and Beechwood. Included in the report cards is new data showing graduation rates and test scores for the 2025-26 academic year. A handful of districts, like Erlanger-Elsmere, Fort Thomas, Bellevue, Dayton and Walton-Verona, saw slight decreases in four-year graduation rates for its students. Others, like Campbell County, Beechwood and Ludlow, showed upticks in graduation rates. But most Northern Kentucky districts saw improvements in reading and math proficiency for third-graders, according to Kentucky state assessment data from 2025-26 compared to 2024-25. “Kentucky students should be commended for their performance on Kentucky’s assessments,” Commissioner of
