Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Morgan County, Kentucky - Morgan County Middle School. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past few years and maintains a 2-out-of-5-star performance rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
Academically, Morgan County Middle School struggles, with proficiency rates below the state average in mathematics across all grade levels. While the school's 6th-grade reading proficiency is above the state average, 7th and 8th-grade rates fall short. The school also faces socioeconomic challenges, with 74.47% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which may be contributing to its academic performance issues.
Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and per-student spending of $16,553. However, the school's lack of significant improvement in its ranking and rating over the past few years suggests a need for a more comprehensive school improvement plan and increased support from the district and state to help address the academic and attendance concerns facing Morgan County Middle School.
