I love toliver. My daughter started there in kindergarten and learned so much. The academics they taught got her to where she needed to be when we moved. We are planning a move back and I will definately place her in Toliver again. Teachers are great and really take their time with each student on their personal level.

Toliver is a great school. Students at this school are loved and well cared for. There are numerous ways for students to earn recognition. The classes are very small, the students learn how to care.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
