Casey County Middle School

Summary:

Casey County Middle School is a public middle school located in Liberty, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 513 students. The school is part of the Casey County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Casey County Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 50th out of 331 Kentucky middle schools in 2015-2016 to 250th out of 324 in the current 2023-2024 school year, the school performs particularly well in the "Special Education Students" and "Hispanic Students" subgroups, ranking 44th and 41st out of Kentucky middle schools, respectively. However, the school struggles with the performance of "Female Students," "Male Students," "White Students," and "Low Socio-Economic Status Students," ranking in the bottom quarter of Kentucky middle schools for these subgroups.

Compared to the nearby Lincoln County Middle School, which is also a public middle school, Casey County Middle School performs worse across most academic measures, including Mathematics, Reading, and Writing proficiency rates. This, combined with the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.58% to 74% over the past few years, suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by its underperforming student populations to improve overall academic performance.

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.
