Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Martin County, Kentucky - Martin County Middle School. The school serves grades 6-8 and has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past few years, with a low performance rating of 2 out of 5 stars in the most recent year.
Martin County Middle School has faced significant challenges in academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics and Editing/Mechanics, where student proficiency rates lag behind the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also quite high at 25.0%, which may be contributing to its overall low performance. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.15% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, the school's dropout rate is relatively low at 1.1% in 2024-2025. However, the school's per-student spending is relatively high at $20,049 in 2023-2024, suggesting that additional resources and support may be needed to improve student outcomes. Overall, Martin County Middle School appears to be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the school's areas of concern.
