Middle Schools in Lawrence County

There is only one middle school located in Lawrence County, Kentucky - Louisa Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and has a student population of 457. While Louisa Middle School has maintained a relatively consistent performance ranking within the state over the past few years, it generally performs below the Lawrence County and Kentucky state averages across subjects like mathematics, reading, science, and social studies.

One notable area where Louisa Middle School does perform better than the county and state averages is in writing and editing/mechanics for 8th grade students. However, the school has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 66.96% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, these factors alone do not seem to be enough to overcome the academic performance gaps.

Overall, the data suggests that Louisa Middle School has opportunities for improvement, particularly in the areas of mathematics, reading, science, and social studies proficiency rates. Identifying and addressing the root causes of these performance gaps could help the school better support its students and improve their educational outcomes.
