Summary:
The Louisville Municipal School District has only one middle school, Eiland Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 391 students. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance consistently lagging behind district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates across all grade levels.
Eiland Middle School's student population is predominantly African American (86.45%), which is much higher than the state's overall racial demographics, raising questions about potential racial inequities in educational opportunities and outcomes. Additionally, 100% of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population that likely contributes to the academic performance issues and highlights the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student body.
The school's statewide ranking has been declining, dropping from 162nd out of 257 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 191st out of 264 in 2023-2024. This downward trend in ranking suggests that Eiland Middle School is falling behind its peers in academic achievement and may require targeted interventions and evidence-based strategies to improve student success.
