The school is part of the Edmonson County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Edmonson County Middle School has consistently performed well on state assessments, with several subject areas exceeding the state average in proficiency rates. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were notably higher than the state average in Mathematics, Writing, and Editing and Mechanics. The school has also demonstrated strong performance in supporting certain student subgroups, particularly Special Education students and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking among the top middle schools in Kentucky for these subgroups. However, the school's performance for White students and Gifted and Talented students has been less impressive.

While Edmonson County Middle School has maintained relatively low dropout rates, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, which is a concern. Interestingly, the school's academic performance is comparable to nearby Bowling Green Junior High, but significantly better than Caverna Middle School, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Kentucky middle schools.
