Middle Schools in Ohio County

There is only one middle school located in Ohio County, Kentucky - the Ohio County Middle School. This school serves grades 7-8 and has an enrollment of 574 students. While the school maintains a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 57th out of 327 Kentucky middle schools in 2022-2023 to 102nd in 2024-2025.

Ohio County Middle School is a relatively high-performing school, with test scores that exceed the state averages in several subject areas, including reading, writing, and editing/mechanics. However, the school faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25% and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 64% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Ohio County Middle School appears to be providing a quality education to its students. The school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, may contribute to its academic success. As the school continues to navigate the changing educational landscape, it will be important for the school and district to address the issues of chronic absenteeism and maintain its strong academic performance to ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.
