Middle Schools in Fleming County

There is only one middle school located in Fleming County, Kentucky - Simons Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has been ranked between 130-175 out of 320-327 Kentucky middle schools in recent years, with a 3-star rating out of 5.

Simons Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's dropout rate of 1.1% in the 2024-2025 school year is lower than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in the same year is significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 61.03% of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,406 in the 2023-2024 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, the data suggests that Simons Middle School faces challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism. Addressing these concerns will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's socioeconomic context and the effective use of available resources.
