About Bell County School District

Although the Bell County School District is a rural area located in the southeastern region of Kentucky, it is an area that is rich in tradition, heritage and culture. Our area lacks diverse economic and cultural experiences that other regions access with ease. We, as educators, must continuously strive to overcome these regional barriers to provide experiences for our students in the fields of arts, sciences, and technology in order to better prepare them for their futures. 77% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch program which evidences the low socioeconomic status of our county. Our enrollment has shown significant decline and the 2020 Census revealed that Bell County had the largest decline in population in the state of Kentucky. This is mainly due to the loss of jobs and the reduction of job opportunities in our area/region.

The Bell County School District's mission states that parents, employees and community partners strive to provide individualized support necessary to ensure that each student reaches his or her full potential and is prepared, upon graduation, to successfully pursue their college or career ambitions. This mission is at the heart of what we do for our students on a daily basis, whether it be through instruction given in the classroom, relationships built with bus drivers and cooks, or the basic needs of the student being met by the FRYSC coordinators and other support staff. Our district holds high expectations for teaching and learning that occurs within each and every classroom every day.
