My son goes to Nichols Elementary School, and I am very pleased with the progress he has shown over the past year. He has always been a fairly studious kid, but has always struggled with his speech. This year, though, my son has made huge strides in speech, and I could not be happier. The greatest thing about his progress is the fact that he is no longer ashamed to talk to his classmates for fear of having to say any word with the letter 'R' in it. It was a big deal to him and his self confidence. Thank you Nichols staff, and especially the speech department. You have made a difference!

Great school! Iam 28 and I have a 7yr. old daughter who now goes to this school. My mother school there as a child, then me, and now my daughter! I love it. They really work hard with the kids and my daughter enjoys going each day. She has improved on so many things and has 1 on 1 reading help! We love the area as well, very country. I feel back at home now and my children are living where i always hoped we would. The school has been remodled and looks great! I hope this school is around forever :) Great job to the school ! Teachers ..keep up the great work!!!

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.
