Education
Paducah Public Schools operates public schools serving most of the City of Paducah. Three K-5 elementary schools, Clark Elementary School, McNabb Elementary School, and Morgan Elementary School, serve sections of the city. All district residents are zoned to Paducah Middle School and Paducah Tilghman High School.
Parts of the city are instead served by the McCracken County Public Schools. Depending on location, elementary students in those areas may be zoned into Concord, Farley, Lone Oak, or Lone Oak–Hendron Elementary School; middle school students into Heath, Lone Oak, or Reidland Middle School; and high school students into Heath, Lone Oak, or Reidland High School. In 2013, the three high schools will consolidate at the new McCracken County High School. The Paducah city district will not participate in this consolidation.

“An acquaintance with the muses, in the education of youth, contributes not a little to soften the manners. It gives a delicate turn to the imagination, and a kind of polish to the mind in severer studies.”
