Breckinridge County Schools Superintendent Dr. Nick Carter says he is very proud of the growth the district continued to see in 2025.
“Our graduation rate was 96.6 percent,” Carter said. “That was one of the highest in the region. The post-secondary readiness rate was 98.3 percent, which was also one of the highest in the region, so we’re excited about that. Our high school earned an overall high rating with state test scores, and there was academic achievement growth in all of our schools throughout the district.”
Carter said extracurricular participation rates across the district are starting to return to pre-pandemic numbers, and a long-term facilities goal made headways in 2025.
“We’ve been working since 2021 to build a new middle school in Breckinridge County, and in 2025 we made a lot of ground on that, and we’re set to begin construction on a new middle school in February of 2026, so we’re really proud of that,” Carter said
Carter says goals for 2026 in addition to the new middle school include some updates for the district’s area technology center, more growth for extracurriculars, and continued work on academic standards improvements that began in mid-2025.
“Our goal for 2026 is to continue working to fully implement that research-based curriculum, continuing the curriculum alignment with our state standards and our assessment expectations, so really just continuing the good work that’s going on academically, but trying to continue improving student academic outcomes,” Carter said.
