Middle Schools in Boone County


Summary:

The Boone County school district in Kentucky is home to 6 middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, with some consistently ranking among the top in the state while others lag behind. Gray Middle School and Conner Middle School stand out as the top-performing schools, consistently ranking in the top 20 middle schools in Kentucky and boasting 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, Ballyshannon Middle School has also performed very well, ranking in the top 50 middle schools in the state.

The data reveals a significant performance gap between the high-achieving and lower-performing schools within the same district. Schools like Camp Ernst Middle School, Rector A. Jones Middle School, and Ockerman Middle School have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the county and state averages. This disparity suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the differences in student outcomes.

Further analysis reveals that the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Rector A. Jones Middle School, also have the lowest proficiency rates. This indicates a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance that warrants further investigation. However, the data also shows that spending per student does not seem to be directly correlated with the schools' performance rankings and proficiency rates, suggesting that other factors, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in driving student outcomes.
