Louisville Kentucky Area Schools and Educational Problems

Our resident Kentucky moron likes to talk about Kentucky and its upward mobility but the truth is that the schools in Louisville and surrounding areas are largely abysmal when looking at the district wide issues that exist in many of these school systems just in the Louisville region and not just Kentucky at large. 

Below is the 2016-2017 school rankings by district in the Commonwealth of Kentucky regarding the various school districts in the Louisville region. 

Louisville Jefferson County Public Schools                122nd out of 159 school districts
Shelby County Public Schools (Shelbyville)               133rd out of 159 school districts
Anchorage Indpendent (Louisville, KY)                     1st out of 159 school districts K-8th grade only
Oldham County Public Schools Lagrange, KY           17th out of 159 school districts
Meade County Public Schools Brandenburg, KY       44th out of 159 school districts
Spencer County Public Schools Taylorsville, KY       50th out of 159 school districts
Bullitt County Public Schools Shepherdsville, KY     75th out of 159 school districts
Nelson County Public Schools Bardstown, KY          93rd out of 159 school districts
Hardin County Public Schools Elizabethtown, KY   101st out of 159 school districts

So for our resident Louisville area scholar why are the East Louisville schools generally better off while the ones south of Louisville including Bullitt, Nelson, and Hardin with the exception of Shelby to the east and Jefferson being Louisville such crappy schools. Its not as if they haven't had decades to improve on their performance and Jefferson County is 2nd worst with the exception of Shelby County which is 133rd out of 159 school districts. 

Yet all the rage in Louisville and environs for years was to talk about how well they were doing and how Louisville was an up and coming city when in fact, the schools in Louisville in 2016 and 2017 fared worse than they did in 2010 when the JCPS was 118th out of 154 KY school systems. Yet since 2010, the Louisville Jefferson County Public Schools have ranked 127th out of 154 districts a couple of years ago and now are 122nd out of 159 school districts. So its basically the same level of educational performance after all of these years. 

Guess they aren't getting any smarter in Shelby and Jefferson Counties and even the cesspools like Bullitt County, Hardin County, and that blot on humanity called Bardstown is no better either all ranking about halfway down the list or worse in all schools. Then again, there are always exceptions and Oldham County and Anchorage do well. Maybe because Bubba mentality thinking isn't so much the vogue thing to do in those areas. Can you refute my statistics Kentucky?
