Kentucky K-12 Education Data

​​​​​​​​The Kentucky Department of Education collects student and financial data from K-12 schools and districts using enterprise data systems including Infinite Campus and MUNIS. This data is crucial for federal and state reporting, funding calculations, and research and analysis to support data-driven decision-making. Parents and students can access their student-level data through their individual Infinite Campus Student or Parent Portal accounts. See below for publicly available aggregated K-12 education data.

Consistent identifiers are used to assist with matching data from multiple files starting from the 2011-2012 school year.
