Bernheim Middle School

Summary:

Bernheim Middle School is a public middle school located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving 435 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Bullitt County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bernheim Middle School has consistently ranked in the top half of Kentucky middle schools over the past 10 years, with its performance on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) generally above the Bullitt County and state averages, particularly in reading and writing. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 48% in 6th grade math, 49% in 7th grade reading, and 54% in 8th grade writing, all of which were higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance for male students and white students has been more mixed, with rankings in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools in some years.

Bernheim Middle School serves a relatively disadvantaged population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.95% to 52.18% over the past three school years. This is in contrast to Eastside Middle School, located about 9 miles away, which has consistently been one of the top-performing middle schools in the state and serves a much lower percentage of students from low-income families. Despite these challenges, Bernheim Middle School's strong performance for special education students is a notable strength, indicating the school is effectively supporting this population.

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.
