Summary:

Lewis County Middle School is a public middle school in Vanceburg, Kentucky, serving 299 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Lewis County School District, which is ranked 72 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, Lewis County Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 86th out of 282 Kentucky middle schools in 2020-2021 to 261st out of 335 in 2013-2014. In the most recent 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 181st out of 324 middle schools and was rated 2 stars by SchoolDigger. While the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science were lower than the state averages, its performance in Writing and Editing/Mechanics was higher. The school's student population is predominantly from low-income families, with 77.93% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the inconsistent academic performance suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource utilization and explore ways to better support the diverse needs of the student population, including those with special education and disabilities. The school's location in a rural area with no other middle schools within 20 miles highlights the importance of ensuring that all students at Lewis County Middle School have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.

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.
