Murray, KY – Three Western Kentucky school districts rank in the top 20 of 175 districts statewide - with McCracken County at 19th, Murray Independent at 16th, and Graves County at 11th. These rankings come from the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System results, released this week by the board of education. Jaque Day talks with two Graves County school administrators, assistant superindendent for curriculum and institution Tommy Scott, and elementary supervisor of instruction Kim Harrison, about the keys to the district's success.
