What the reported data says about Beacon Academy
Beacon Academy is a public high school serving grades 06–12 in Bowling Green. It is one of 34 current school records connected to Warren County. NCES reports 137 students for 2024–25.
Among 442 high schools in Kentucky with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 187.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 48th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 34.3:1, above the Kentucky median of 15.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (84.7%) and Hispanic or Latino (6.6%). English learners represent 4% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 8.8%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
