Summary

Bracken County Middle School serves 266 students in grades 6–8 in Brooksville, Kentucky. It generally performs better than the nearby schools, but its most important concern is a clear weakness in eighth-grade writing: 35% of students were proficient, compared with 48% statewide.

Bracken County Middle School leads nearby schools in math, reading, science and social studies, though writing is a notable exception. Its math proficiency was 45%, versus 40% statewide and a 27% average for the nearby schools; reading was 51%, versus 48% statewide and a 39% nearby average. In eighth-grade social studies, 48% were proficient, 9 points above the state. In writing, however, the school was 13 points below the state and 20 points below the nearby-school average; it trailed both Phillip Sharp Middle School and Mason County Middle School. The school’s test figures match those of the Bracken County district in every supplied subject and grade.

Results vary over time: writing fell 17 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while social studies rose 12 points in the latest year, reaching 48%. Math and reading remain above state averages, but their advantages have narrowed from earlier highs. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 58th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, with 3 stars; its percentile was 72 in 2023–2024 and 53 in 2024–2025. The student-teacher ratio was 15.9 in 2024–2025, and 58% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch that year. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings also show a sharp change for Female Students: the school’s ranking for how well it serves this group fell from the 81st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 43rd in 2025–2026, below its overall 58th percentile. For Special Education Students, it ranked at the 86th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 53rd percentile that year.
