School Overview

Mercer County Intermediate School, located on Moberly Road in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, serves as a vital transition point in the Mercer County School District. Catering to students in the upper elementary and early middle school grades, the school focuses on bridging the gap between foundational primary education and the more complex academic environment of secondary school.

Beyond its core curriculum, the school emphasizes community integration and the development of the "whole child." By providing a dedicated space for intermediate learners, the institution allows for targeted instruction that prepares students for the rigors of the district's higher-level academic programs.
