This morning, a celebration was held at Betsy Lane Elementary School complete with a parade after recent test scores placed them near the top in the state. Betsy Lane Middle School students marched as well celebrating their number five ranking. School officials agreed. Numbers like that call for a parade. We want these kids to know they're the ones that did it. Even though our staff works hard, it takes the kids working hard as well. So we want everybody in our community to see how awesome this school is. These grandparents and proud family members lined the streets as the students marched by escorted by the Floyd County Sheriff's Department and the Betsy Lane Fire Department. Floyd County School officials also announced Stumbo Elementary being named the number one middle school in the state for the second year in a row. And all that helped the entire district climb in the rankings. It was one of our things that we wanted to do is be a top ten school district. And that was a goal that we set several years ago and now we're there. Stumbo and Dr. Webb led the parade with a sign that will be soon placed alongside roads leading into Floyd County displaying the district's number six ranking, which is an amazing turnaround for a district that was once in trouble. Seventeen years ago when I came on board, things were not so good. And I was appointed by state management and I saw our district go from ranking in the 170s and now we rank number six in the state of Kentucky. So all of our faculty and staff has just done a wonderful job. Following the parade, students, faculty and family members were treated to a free concert in the gymnasium.
