Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the city of Edmonton, Kentucky - Metcalfe County Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Metcalfe County school district. Based on the available data, Metcalfe County Middle School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 265 out of 324 Kentucky middle schools for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is consistently below the state average on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) in multiple subjects, including mathematics, reading, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics. Proficiency rates in some subjects, such as 8th-grade mathematics, are as low as 11% compared to the state average of 37%. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, suggesting a concerning trend of declining performance.

Despite the school's academic struggles, it appears to have relatively high spending per student at $12,214, which is above the state average. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 71.12% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, as research has shown a strong correlation between poverty and educational outcomes.
