Summary:

Anderson County Middle School is a public middle school located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 818 students. The school is part of the Anderson County School District, which is ranked 46 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Anderson County Middle School has shown mixed academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 121 to 202 out of 320-335 Kentucky middle schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 128 out of 324 Kentucky middle schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance in specific subject areas is also mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average (e.g., 6th grade reading, 8th grade editing and mechanics) and others performing below (e.g., 8th grade mathematics, 7th grade science). The school has performed well with Hispanic students, ranking as high as 32 out of 123 Kentucky middle schools in 2023-2024, but has struggled with special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 30% of Kentucky middle schools in these categories.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools, such as Jessie M. Clark Middle School and Woodford County Middle School, which consistently rank in the top 100 Kentucky middle schools, Anderson County Middle School's performance is generally lower. However, the school outperforms some nearby schools, such as Shelby County East Middle School and Elkhorn Middle School, which have lower statewide rankings and test scores. The school's fluctuating spending per student and student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its inconsistent academic results, and these areas should be examined more closely.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
