Western Middle School for the Arts

Summary:

Western Middle School for the Arts is a public magnet middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 650 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.

Despite its focus on the arts, Western Middle School for the Arts consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in core academic subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state in mathematics, reading, and other subjects like writing and social studies. The performance of different student subgroups also varies significantly, with White and Multi-racial students performing relatively well, while African American, Hispanic, and Economically Disadvantaged students struggle.

When compared to other magnet middle schools in the Jefferson County district, such as Barret Traditional Middle, Meyzeek Middle, and Noe Middle, Western Middle School for the Arts is an outlier in terms of academic performance, with much lower proficiency rates and state rankings. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and its location within a low-performing school district may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

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.

Kids are allowed to be themselves and excel in academics and the arts at Western Middle! Close Quote

by a parent
Wednesday, October 22, 2014

My child is being challenged academically, and is thriving. We came from an MST elementary school where the academic culture was very strong, and he has seen continued success at Western.

The Performing Arts program has allowed my child to broaden his view of school, and it is inspiring him in new ways. He's learning that his potential is not only vast, but limitless. The class size allows him plenty of attention, the staff is pro-active and compassionate, and the Principal, Dr. Kym Rice, is fully engaged, informed, and caring for Every child.

We are very happy that we chose Western Middle School. They are truly turning the program around in a positive and major way!! We are confident that our child will be fully prepared to succeed in high school and beyond. 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.
