Scott County Schools (Georgetown, Kentucky)

What Scott County Schools (Georgetown, Kentucky) does

Scott County Schools is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, serving approximately 10,000 students across Georgetown and Scott County. The district operates more than 16 schools comprising 9 elementary, 3 middle, and 4 high schools, plus a preschool program and an online academy, and is supported by a workforce of roughly 2,000 employees and an 85-bus transportation fleet. Educational breadth is delivered through 27 career pathways, with the student body speaking 31 languages, and the district is led by Superintendent Billy Parker.

The district operates a standard SaaS-based technology stack rather than a proprietary platform: Finalsite for the public website, Infinite Campus as the student information system, Google Workspace for productivity, Clever SSO for identity, USA Test Prep for assessment, Google Classroom for non-traditional instruction, MySchoolBucks for payments, GoFan for athletic ticketing, Frontline Education (AESOP) for staff management, InfoFinderi for transportation routing, and a Benchmark Assessment System. A new Oxford Elementary School is scheduled to open in August 2027 to absorb enrollment growth in Georgetown, which is described as the fastest-growing city in Kentucky.

Funding derives from state appropriations under Kentucky's SEEK formula, local property taxes, a 0.5% occupational license tax, federal Title I–IV programs under ESSA, and minor user fees including student activity fees, $10 senior passes, athletic tickets, and facility rentals. The district's strategic posture is build-out oriented: expanding physical capacity, refreshing leadership, and broadening the curriculum surface (27 career pathways, online academy, preschool) to serve a growing and linguistically diverse population.
