==Education== The county is home to all or part of three school districts: * Most of the county is served by the [[Barren County Schools]], which includes [[Barren County High School]] and Middle School in Glasgow, and seven elementary schools throughout the county, many of which were formerly also high schools before they were consolidated into Barren County High in the early 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home - Barren County School District |url=http://www.barren.kyschools.us/ |website=Barren County School District}}</ref> * The [http://www.glasgow.kyschools.us Glasgow Independent Schools] serve the city of Glasgow proper, with small areas of overlap outside the city limits. The district includes [[Glasgow High School (Kentucky)|Glasgow High School]], Glasgow Middle School, and two elementary schools. In addition, the Glasgow and Caverna (see below) districts jointly operate an alternative school located in the Glasgow district for "at-risk" children in middle and high school. Barren County High and Middle Schools, although operated by the county district, are actually located within the boundaries of the Glasgow district.<ref>{{Cite web |year=1996 |title=Glasgow Independent Schools map |url=http://www.revenue.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/13AB2876-DE30-4671-ADBD-2E01D2172D05/0/Barren_Glasgow_Ind.jpg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080410132033/http://www.revenue.ky.gov/NR/rdonlyres/13AB2876-DE30-4671-ADBD-2E01D2172D05/0/Barren_Glasgow_Ind.jpg |archive-date=April 10, 2008 |access-date=February 7, 2008 |publisher=Kentucky Department of Revenue |format=PDF}} As of 2008, Barren County High is still at the location indicated on the map (look in the southern part of the city, near the [[Cumberland Parkway]]). Although Barren County Middle is not listed on this map, it is located on the same street as the high school, as indicated at the official Barren County Schools website.</ref> * The [[Caverna Independent School District|Caverna Independent Schools]] take in [[Cave City, Kentucky|Cave City]] and surrounding northwest Barren County, as well as [[Horse Cave, Kentucky|Horse Cave]] and the southwest corner of neighboring Hart County. It is served by [[Caverna High School]], Caverna Middle School, and Caverna Elementary School, all located between Cave City and Horse Cave. The high school is on the Hart County side of the line, while the elementary and middle schools share a campus on the Barren County side. The district is one of only a handful in the United States which is located in more than one county. Three other districts with this distinction are in Kentucky, most notably the [[Corbin, Kentucky|Corbin]] Independent School District, serving a single city split by a county line.
