Welcome to the website for Corbin Schools! We hope that you will be able to use this site as a guiding tool to answer questions you may have about our school system.

Corbin Independent School District strives to be the BEST school system we can be. Test scores and academic competitions consistently rank the district as one of the top districts in Kentucky. Our success comes from the excellent partnership among students, staff, parents, and community.

The Corbin Independent School District has been serving the area for more than 100 years with rigorous academic standards and quality education. The district's expanding curriculum and extracurricular programs strive to continually meet the needs of all 2,400 students.

Corbin’s grade 3 students score at the 75^th percentile in Math on a national Test! Beginning in the 2006-2007 school year, a new state regulation required each elementary school in Kentucky to administer and report the results of a nationally norm-referenced test for reading and math. South Elementary tested grade three students using the Measures of Academic Progress Test (MAP Test) in May of 2007 in reading and math to fulfill this state regulation. MAP is a nationally norm-referenced test through Northwestern Evaluation Association. Corbin 3^rd grade students scored at the 75^th percentile rank in math and at the 61^st percentile in reading. The average national score is at the 50^th percentile rank. If you have any questions, please contact Brenda Hammons at 528-1303.

-- Corbin Independent School District places a high priority on the use of instructional technology. Desktop computers, wireless laptop computers, Promethean interactive whiteboards, projectors, and a video-conferencing center provide instructional tools throughout the district. All classrooms have computers with internet access and access to the Discovery Channel/KET video streaming Encyclomedia.

-- Corbin School District's Communications Career Academy provides students with hands-on experience in the communications field. From print media and television newscasts to a 100-watt radio station (Redhound Radio WRHR 95.3 FM) and family movie theatre, the program is growing and evolving.

Corbin High Learning Center – The Corbin High School “library” does not look like the normal library nor does it operate like one. This inviting media center contains the features and spaces normally found in a school library PLUS areas for a radio station, TV production room, video-conferencing room, small-group performance area, and the Redhound Café. The “Learning Center” provides students with distance learning programs, research and tutoring opportunities, meeting areas, TV production programs for Channel 18, and radio production programs for Redhound Radio 95.3 FM WRHR. The multi-media learning facility is open extended hours to serve students, staff, and the community. A special place, especially for students, is the after-school Redhound Café.

Please accept our invitation to come and visit our schools and see the excitement for yourself!
