There were three American Indian or Alaska Native students enrolled in Trimble County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 25% decrease from the four American Indian or Alaska Native students in the previous school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Trimble County welcomed a total of 1,340 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, American Indian or Alaska Native students comprised 0.2% of the student body to be one of the least represented ethnicities in the county.

Trimble County Junior-Senior High School was the only school in the county which enrolled American Indian or Alaska Native students in the 2022-23 school year.

Despite escaping some of the pandemic's educational disruptions, Kentucky's achievement gaps have remained an issue since 2019. In the eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Hispanic students scored eight points lower than their white peers, and the gap reached 15 points in math. Black students fared even worse, falling more than 20 points behind and facing a failure rate nearly double that of their white counterparts.
