The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these institutions, with some standout schools like Beaumont Middle School consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others like Family Care Center face significant challenges.

Beaumont Middle School is a shining example, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that are significantly above the Fayette County and Kentucky averages.
