Zoneton Middle School

Summary:

Zoneton Middle School is a public middle school in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, serving 354 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. Unfortunately, Zoneton Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past decade, currently ranking 308 out of 324 middle schools in the state.

Zoneton Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 17% of 6th-grade students and 18% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 36% and 33% for Bullitt County, and 42% and 37% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, and white students, all of whom rank in the bottom 10% of Kentucky middle schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55% to 64.41% over the past three school years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Zoneton Middle School to other nearby middle schools in the Bullitt County district, such as MT.

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.
