Summary

Casey County Middle School serves 497 students in grades 6–8 in Liberty, Kentucky. Its 2025–2026 results show a clear contrast: sixth graders performed well, while eighth-grade results were weaker. Most importantly, proficiency was below the state average in every reported subject, even though the school generally outperformed the one nearby middle school in the comparisons provided.

The school’s strongest comparisons are in grade-averaged math and reading: results were 34% and 44%, respectively, compared with 26% and 39% at Lincoln County Middle School. Both schools’ figures are below the state averages of 40% in math and 48% in reading, and match their respective district figures. Casey also led Lincoln in seventh-grade science, 24% to 17%, but trailed it in eighth-grade writing (34% to 36%), social studies (31% to 36%), and editing and mechanics (27% to 32%). Within Casey, sixth-grade math and reading reached 50% and 60%; eighth-grade results were 20% and 29%, both below state results of 39% and 40%. Reading is comparatively closest to the state, while eighth-grade editing and mechanics is the most pronounced weakness.

Reading improved by 5 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and math by 3 points, but writing fell 12 points and editing and mechanics fell 15; social studies rose 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks Casey at the 28th percentile statewide, with 1 star, up from the 18th percentile last year but below its 85th-percentile standing in 2015–2016.
