Summary:
The Bardstown Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Bardstown Independent school district in Kentucky. With a student population of 575, the school has a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 46.78%, indicating that a significant portion of the student body may be facing socioeconomic challenges.
Bardstown Middle School's performance on state assessments (KSA) varies across different subjects and grade levels, with some areas above the state and district averages and others below. The school has been ranked between 109 and 151 out of 320-327 Kentucky middle schools over the past three school years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's proficiency rates range from 19% in 7th grade Science to 61% in 8th grade Editing and Mechanics, the inconsistent performance across subjects and grade levels suggests room for improvement in ensuring more consistent and equitable academic outcomes.
With a student-teacher ratio of 17.2 and per-student spending of $11,967 for the 2018-2019 school year, Bardstown Middle School appears to have adequate resources. However, further analysis and comparison to similar schools in the state or region could provide additional insights to help the school and district identify opportunities for improvement and better support the needs of their diverse student population.
