Summary

Carroll County Middle School is a public middle school in Carrollton, Kentucky, serving 544 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Carroll County School District, which is ranked 157th out of 157 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being the only middle school option in the immediate area, Carroll County Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky middle schools over the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Kentucky Summative Assessment, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics ranged from 15% to 34%, compared to the state average of 40% to 43%. Similarly, in reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20% to 31%, compared to the state average of 42% to 52%. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.0% to 28.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The two nearest middle schools, Henry County Middle School and Gallatin County Middle School, are also relatively low-performing, with rankings in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools. This suggests a lack of high-performing school options in the immediate vicinity of Carroll County Middle School. The school's poor performance is not limited to a specific subgroup but is widespread, affecting female, male, Hispanic, white, and low socioeconomic status students, indicating systemic challenges that the school faces in supporting the academic growth of all its students.
