Scott County Middle School

Summary:

Scott County Middle School is a public middle school located in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 864 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Scott County School District.

Scott County Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 15% of Kentucky middle schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels for its female, male, and white student populations, but struggles to support its Hispanic and special education students, who perform significantly below the state averages. While the school's science proficiency rates are lower than its performance in other subject areas, it consistently outperforms nearby Georgetown Middle School and Royal Spring Middle School, which are also part of the Scott County School District.

The school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18:1 may contribute to its strong academic performance, which consistently outperforms the state and district averages in mathematics, reading, science, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics assessments. However, the school's challenges with its Hispanic and special education student groups present an opportunity for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

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.
