Middle Schools in Trigg County

Trigg County has one middle school, Trigg County Middle School, serving grades 6–8 and 420 students. In 2025–2026, its results were mixed across the 10 grade-and-subject comparisons with Kentucky: three were above the state, three were equal, and four were below. The clearest academic concern is 8th-grade Social Studies, where the school scored 32% compared with 39% statewide, a 7-point gap.

There is no second local school to rank against, so the strongest and weakest results are within Trigg County Middle School’s subject results. Its relative strengths were 7th-grade science and 8th-grade Editing and Mechanics, both 2 points above Kentucky (30% versus 28%, and 44% versus 42%). Its largest shortfalls were 8th-grade Social Studies, 7 points below the state, and 8th-grade Writing, 4 points below (44% versus 48%). Across all the comparisons, gaps ranged from 7 points below to 2 points above the state.

Results changed notably in 8th-grade math: the school fell from 51% in 2024–2025 to 39% in 2025–2026, while Kentucky went from 40% to 39%, ending the school’s 11-point advantage. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 225th of 324 schools (31st percentile) in 2023–2024 to 182nd of 320 (43rd percentile) in 2024–2025 and 180th of 326 (45th percentile) in 2025–2026. Other context: chronic absenteeism was 18.7% at the school versus 23.5% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0% versus 1% in 2025–2026. The school reported 53% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025 and a 16.8 student-teacher ratio that year. Because only one school is listed, these data cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
