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.
