Trigg County Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in academic assessments across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science were significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and African American students performing relatively well, while other subgroups like Multi-racial and Low Socio-Economic Status students have struggled. Trigg County Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 113 out of 320 Kentucky middle schools in 2021-2022 (3-star rating) to 225 out of 324 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), indicating a decline in the school's relative performance compared to other middle schools in the state.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Caldwell County Middle School and Hopkinsville Middle School, Trigg County Middle School generally underperforms in academic assessments and has a lower statewide ranking. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as its lower spending per student and higher student-teacher ratio, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. Addressing these resource-related factors and implementing targeted interventions to address disparities in student group performance could be crucial in improving the school's educational outcomes and providing a more competitive learning environment for its 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.
