Beaumont Middle School

Summary:

Beaumont Middle School is a public middle school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving 843 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Fayette County school district. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Kentucky, with a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger and strong academic achievement across various subjects and grade levels.

Beaumont Middle School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with the school ranking between 15-81 statewide over the past 10 years. The school excels in the performance of Asian and White students, ranking in the top 5-3 and top 30-19 in the state, respectively. However, the school struggles with Hispanic students, ranking in the bottom 105-115 in the state, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address this achievement gap. Beaumont Middle School's test scores consistently outperform the Fayette County and Kentucky state averages, and the school spends more per student ($13,885 in 2018-2019) compared to the district average, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Beaumont Middle School is a standout performer in the Fayette County district, outperforming nearby schools like Crawford Middle, Winburn Middle, and Lexington Trad Magnet School, there is still room for improvement, particularly in addressing the achievement gaps for certain student subgroups. By continuing to focus on targeted interventions and support for underperforming groups, Beaumont Middle School can build on its existing strengths and provide an even higher-quality education for its diverse student 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.

Open Quote Phenomenal friendly teachers who care about students and enjoy what there’re doing. The teachers make learning very fun with games incorporated into the curriculum along with holiday incentives and a family like atmosphere. I built great relationships with teachers throughout my time there. Close Quote

Open Quote My son comes home and tells me that technology class consists of a teacher that doesn't engage with the students and the students are expected to watch videos to carry out classwork. My son also comes home and tells me how despite being left handed, he's expected to play golf with a right handed club in gym class (same for field hockey as well). It seems like some of the teachers have simply "checked out". Close Quote

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.
