David Pensol, Superintendent

Rockcastle County Schools believe student achievement is reached through support for students, families and our community. Our first priority is meeting the mental, physical, and social needs of each student.

Constant evaluation helps determine what students need and how to meet those needs. We continually search for strategies to individualize instruction to find different approaches for different needs, so each student has the opportunity to learn. This is why our students’ performance on the Kentucky Core Content Test are consistently above state levels, performing in the top 10% of all districts in the state.
