Henry F. Moss Middle School

Summary:

Henry F. Moss Middle School is a public middle school in Bowling Green, Kentucky, serving 566 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Warren County School District, which is ranked 75 out of 159 districts in the state.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,580 in the 2018-2019 school year, Henry F. Moss Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the Warren County and Kentucky state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 7th graders and 23% of 8th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 46% and 49% for the Warren County district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, and White student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Kentucky middle schools in these areas.

The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Henry F. Moss Middle School, with 89.4% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance. This is significantly higher than nearby schools like Drakes Creek Middle School (53.91%) and South Warren Middle School (41.58%). The school's consistent underperformance and widening achievement gaps suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes and close the gaps.

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.
