Fleming Neon Middle School's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking among Kentucky middle schools fluctuating from 90th out of 320 schools in 2021-2022 (4 stars) to 123rd out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 (3 stars). The school's proficiency rates in core subjects have been mixed, with some areas performing above the district and state averages, while others have been below. Notably, 59.28% of students at the school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and spends $12,103 per student, which is higher than the national average.
