Summary

Cumberland County Middle School is a public middle school in Burkesville, Kentucky, serving 213 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Cumberland County School District, which is ranked 78 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cumberland County Middle School has shown a mixed academic performance, with some subject areas and grade levels outperforming the state average, while others struggle. For example, the school excelled in 8th-grade Writing and Editing and Mechanics, but underperformed in 6th-grade Mathematics and 7th-grade Science. Compared to nearby Metcalfe County Middle School and Clinton County Middle School, Cumberland County Middle School generally performs better, with higher proficiency rates in most subjects. However, the school faces challenges due to its high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, with 81.22% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these socioeconomic challenges, Cumberland County Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending of $27,932 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3, suggesting efforts to provide additional support for its student population. The school's inconsistent academic performance across subject areas and grade levels indicates a need to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.
