Summary:
Fulton County Middle School is the only middle school in this list for Fulton County, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 123 students. Its results vary sharply by subject and grade, so there is no single picture of academic performance; the clearest strength is eighth-grade writing, while reading and mathematics are notable areas of concern.
Eighth-grade writing is the school’s standout result: 63% were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 48% statewide—a 15-point advantage. At the other end, sixth-grade reading was 22% versus 54% statewide, a 32-point gap. Mathematics was also below state rates in every grade: sixth grade was 20% versus 42%, seventh grade 31% versus 39%, and eighth grade 20% versus 39%. Other eighth-grade results were below the state too: social studies was 29% versus 39%, and editing and mechanics was 26% versus 42%.
Recent trends are mixed, with reading and mathematics moving in the wrong direction relative to Kentucky but writing improving strongly. Across grades 6 and 8, the school’s mathematics average fell from 32% in 2024–2025 to 20% in 2025–2026, while the state average remained about 41%. Across grades 6 and 7, reading fell from about 44% to 29%, while the state average rose from 50% to 52%. In contrast, eighth-grade writing climbed 26 points, from 37% to 63%, while Kentucky’s rate slipped 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 7th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 19th in 2024–2025, then edged down to the 17th in 2025–2026. Context includes a student–teacher ratio of 17.5 in 2024–2025 and 72% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. This one-school list cannot show how the school compares with other local schools; eighth-grade reading and seventh-grade science results are suppressed.
