The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has announced the selection of 11 schools across the state as the 2025 Spotlight Schools. This recognition highlights schools that have shown exceptional performance in academics, innovative practices, and a strong commitment to student success.
The schools were chosen based on strong leadership, effective teaching strategies, and a dedication to ongoing improvement. These schools have demonstrated how innovative practices and a focus on student achievement can lead to notable success in education.
As part of the program, each Spotlight School will share successful practices with other schools across Kentucky. They will serve as model examples to help boost student performance statewide. The goal is to promote a culture of continuous learning and improvements in schools that may be facing challenges or seeking new strategies.
To support their recognition, each Spotlight School developed a story card that details their journey toward excellence. These story cards include insights into the strategies adopted, initiatives undertaken, and lessons learned. They are designed to function as practical resources for educators and school leaders seeking to implement similar successful practices in their own environments.
All schools and educators interested in learning from these success stories are encouraged to visit the Spotlight Schools webpage. There, they can access the story cards to find ideas on closing achievement gaps and fostering academic success.
Principal Angie Alexander of Farristown Middle School expressed appreciation for the recognition opportunity, emphasizing its value for collaboration and ongoing learning. The program aims to inspire schools to exchange ideas and build on proven practices to improve education outcomes.
The Kentucky Department of Education, under the leadership of Commissioner Robbie Fletcher, is committed to working closely with the Spotlight Schools. This collaboration aims to promote continuous improvement and to support schools statewide in providing high-quality education for all students.
