Summary:
Williamstown Independent has one middle school in the data, Williamstown Junior High, serving grades 6–8 and enrolling 172 students. Its 2025–26 results were below Kentucky’s in all eight disclosed grade-and-subject results, with gaps ranging from 10 to 29 percentage points below the state.
There is no school-to-school top or bottom in this area because Williamstown Junior High is the only school listed. Among its disclosed results, grade 6 reading was highest at 44% (compared with 54% statewide), while grade 8 Editing and Mechanics was lowest at 13% (42% statewide); these are different grades and subjects, not a like-for-like ranking. SchoolDigger ranked the school 310th of 326 middle schools statewide, at the 5th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26. Its rank was 239th of 324 in 2023–24 and 274th of 320 in 2024–25.
The matched results point to a widening gap from the state: the school’s average across the same eight grade-subject combinations fell from 33% in 2024–25 to 24% in 2025–26, while the state average moved from 45% to 44%. The average shortfall grew from 12 to 20 percentage points. Grade 8 Editing and Mechanics had the sharpest decline, dropping 31 points, from 44% to 13%; grade 8 reading and social studies each fell 15 points. Attendance indicators were more favorable: chronic absenteeism was 14% at the school versus 24% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0% versus 1%. For context, 59% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.3 that year. Because there is only one school listed, there is no school-to-school comparison.
