Bath County Middle School

Summary:

Bath County Middle School is a public middle school located in Owingsville, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 416 students. The school is part of the Bath County School District, which is ranked 97 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bath County Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in most subject areas and grade levels based on the Kentucky State Assessment (KSA) scores. For the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, Science, and Social Studies are below the state averages, with the largest gaps in Mathematics and Reading. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with a relative strength in serving special education students but struggling with the performance of other subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students. The school's performance for gifted and talented students is particularly concerning, ranking 61st out of 62 Kentucky middle schools in 2018-2019.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Simons Middle School in Fleming County and Rowan County Middle School in Rowan County, Bath County Middle School generally underperforms in academic proficiency. These schools have higher KSA scores in Mathematics, Reading, and other subject areas, as well as lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student population. While Bath County Middle School has made investments in resources, it will need to focus on targeted strategies and interventions to address these challenges and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
