Christian County Middle School and Hopkinsville Middle School are the two middle schools in Christian County, and both serve grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, their combined average was below the state average in math (33% vs. 40%) and reading (40% vs. 48%), as well as science, writing, and social studies; Editing and Mechanics was the exception (44% vs. 42%). The biggest shared concern is reading and math in grades 7 and 8: average results were 9 to 11 percentage points below the state in those grade-subject comparisons.

Its largest lead was 16 points in 8th-grade Editing and Mechanics (52% vs. 36%); it also led 6th-grade reading by 13 points (58% vs. 45%).
