Muhlenberg County

Summary:

The Muhlenberg County school district in Kentucky consists of 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like Muhlenberg South Middle School and Bremen Elementary School leading the way in proficiency rates and state rankings.

Muhlenberg South Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 165th out of 324 Kentucky middle schools. It boasts strong math and reading proficiency rates for 6th-8th grade students.

Additionally, the Renaissance Center, an alternative high school, has seen a concerning drop in its statewide ranking and a 0% four-year graduation rate. These findings suggest a need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the disparities within the Muhlenberg County school district.
