Summary

Beaumont Middle School serves 743 students in grades 6–8 in Lexington’s Fayette County. The clearest finding for families is that the school’s strongest academic distinction is math and science, while eighth-grade writing is a notable weakness.

In 2025–2026, math proficiency averaged 58% across grades 6–8, compared with 46% in the district and 40% statewide—13 and 18 points higher, respectively—and above the nearby-school average of 40%. The school also led nearby schools with reported results in seventh-grade science, at 47%, 13 points above the district and 19 above the state. Reading was strong too: 59% on average, versus 53% in the district and 48% statewide. The contrast is eighth-grade writing: 46%, below the district’s 49% and the state’s 48%, and below four nearby schools that scored from 49% to 62%. Eighth-grade social studies was stronger, at 51%, 6 points above the district and 12 above the state.

Results have improved in some subjects and slipped in others: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose by 7 points, reading by 4 and seventh-grade science by 17, while eighth-grade writing fell by 5 points and editing and mechanics by 13. SchoolDigger ranks the school 54th of 326 Kentucky middle schools for 2025–2026, at the 83rd percentile with four stars; its percentile has recently risen from 75 in 2023–2024, though it remains below its 95th-percentile standing in 2015–2016. In 2024–2025, 34% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.8, the highest among the supplied nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show a marked contrast by group: Hispanic Students ranked at the 22nd percentile and Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 21st, compared with 83rd overall; African American Students’ ranking rose from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 79th in 2025–2026.

Phenomenal friendly teachers who care about students and enjoy what there’re doing. The teachers make learning very fun with games incorporated into the curriculum along with holiday incentives and a family like atmosphere. I built great relationships with teachers throughout my time there. Close Quote

If your child makes good grades you'll be kept completely in the dark.asked repeatedly for grades and 1 teacher sent me grades.parent portal is a joke. You can't email,text,call,or even mail that information? Ridiculous. Close Quote

My son comes home and tells me that technology class consists of a teacher that doesn't engage with the students and the students are expected to watch videos to carry out classwork. My son also comes home and tells me how despite being left handed, he's expected to play golf with a right handed club in gym class (same for field hockey as well). It seems like some of the teachers have simply "checked out". Close Quote
