Kammerer Middle

Summary:

Kammerer Middle is a public middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 720 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 141 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Kammerer Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 224 out of 324 schools and a 2-star rating.

Kammerer Middle's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science consistently lower than the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 40% of 6th graders, 30% of 7th graders, and 38% of 8th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 27%, 25%, and 24% for Jefferson County, and 42%, 39%, and 37% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, but African American, Hispanic, and Multi-racial students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, performing significantly worse.

Kammerer Middle's challenges are further highlighted by comparisons to nearby schools. While the school performs better than some nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson Middle and Carrithers Middle, it lags behind many of its counterparts, such as Meyzeek Middle, Barret Traditional Middle, and Jefferson County Traditional Middle, which consistently outperform Kammerer in academic metrics and student group rankings. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 49.18% to 58.41% over the past few years, suggests a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may contribute to its lower 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.

Open Quote this school needs teachers that do not give out a crap ton of work. when i go home i am incredibly stressed because i have tons of social studies work that i have to finish becuase we get a minimum of 3 assignments a day and get 1.5 days to do them and it is very annoying. we are done with this school. we are all worried becuase one the corona virus is going around and the school being this dirty does not help. we are assigned homework that does not even get graded we get at least 10 or 12 pages of math homework and 4 days to do it. all in all i dont like it and the teachers here dont take care of the major issue of bullying.

Open Quote I went here 6 years ago for only 5-6 months and it was by far the worst school I have ever gone to. I came from great Chicago schools and ended up in something I could only compare to a jail. Students walk on tape in the hallways and are not allowed access to bathrooms. Do not send your child here.

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.
