Summary:
The Talton K Stone Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Elizabethtown Independent school district in Kentucky. With an enrollment of 524 students, the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 102 and 139 out of 320-327 Kentucky middle schools in recent years.
Academically, Talton K Stone Middle School shows strengths in certain areas, such as a 55% proficiency rate in 7th-grade reading, which exceeds the state average of 48%. However, the school's performance in mathematics and social studies is more mixed, with room for improvement. The school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.1%, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25% is a concern that may require targeted interventions.
Serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Talton K Stone Middle School appears to have access to substantial resources, with a per-student spending of $11,435 and a low student-teacher ratio of 14.8. Leveraging these resources to address the school's academic and attendance challenges could be a key focus for the district and school leadership.
