Summary

Eastside Middle School in Mount Washington, Kentucky, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 682 students, with 10 nearby middle schools in the comparison. Its most important distinction is broad academic strength: in 2025–2026, its grade-averaged proficiency was higher than the state, Bullitt County, and nearby-school averages in every reported subject.

Writing is its clearest strength: 65% of students were proficient, compared with 48% statewide, 45% in Bullitt County, and 36% at nearby schools. Editing and mechanics was also strong, at 58%, versus 42% statewide and in the district, and 30% nearby. Mathematics averaged 51% (state 40%, district 37%, nearby 27%); reading averaged 52% (48%, 42%, and 34%). Science was a relative soft spot against nearby schools, but Eastside still led: 34% proficient versus the nearby average of 21% and state average of 28%. Grade 8 math and reading were lower than Eastside’s grade 6 and 7 results, at 46% in each subject, though those rates remained above state results and the next-highest nearby rates.

Results have shifted over time: between 2022–2023 and 2025–2026, the school’s math average fell 5 percentage points and reading fell 13, while writing declined 7 points; social studies rose 5 points. The state gap narrowed in math, reading, and writing. SchoolDigger ranks Eastside 74th of 326 Kentucky middle schools, at the 77th percentile and 4 stars; it leads nearby schools, including MT.

Chronic absenteeism was 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 23% and the state’s 24%.

I go there and its amazing between the uniforms it keeps us kids focused. I have been going there for 2 years now and I am going to be sad when its time to leave but coming from a school that wasn't very high ranked in Jefferson county I have made a lot of progress in my math and reading. reading wasn't fun for me until this year because, we are reading all kinds of books in both social studies and la. we also did the project in both math and la which helped me understand the math easier and it was fun...
