Bloomfield Middle School

Summary:

Bloomfield Middle School is a public middle school in Bloomfield, Kentucky, serving 352 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Nelson County School District, which is ranked 148 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bloomfield Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 194 and 269 out of around 320-335 middle schools in the state. The school has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Its proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Writing are significantly lower than the state averages, and it struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, particularly Special Education, Disabled, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school's performance also lags behind that of higher-performing schools in the region, such as Eastside Middle School and Spencer County Middle School, as well as other schools within the Nelson County district, like Old Kentucky Home Middle School.

The lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio at Bloomfield Middle School suggest that the school may not have access to the same level of resources as some of its higher-performing peers, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles and the persistent achievement gaps observed across different student groups. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for all students at the school.

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.
