Todd County Middle School

Summary:

Todd County Middle School is a public middle school in Elkton, Kentucky, serving 392 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Todd County School District, which is ranked 142 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Todd County Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past 10 years, with proficiency rates on state assessments (KSA) significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 20-25%, compared to the state averages of 37-42%, and in reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 36-39%, compared to the state averages of 41-49%. The school's performance on other subjects, such as science, writing, and social studies, also lags behind the state averages.

While the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Christian County Middle School and Hopkinsville Middle School in the neighboring Christian County having higher academic performance and rankings, the consistently low academic performance of Todd County Middle School suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the decreasing per-student spending, may be contributing factors to the school's 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.

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.
