Summary

Bryan Station Middle School serves 744 students in grades 6–8 in Fayette County, Lexington. Its clearest academic pattern is a split: eighth-grade writing is a standout, while seventh-grade science and math are the most concerning results.

Writing is a particular strength compared with nearby schools, the district and the state: 55% of eighth graders were proficient, versus 45% at nearby schools on average, 49% districtwide and 48% statewide. Eighth-grade social studies and editing and mechanics were also above state results, at 48% versus 39% in social studies and 49% versus 42% in editing and mechanics. Science is the clearest weakness: seventh-grade proficiency was 23%, compared with 39% at nearby schools on average, 34% districtwide and 28% statewide. Math averaged 40% across grades 6–8, matching the state but below the district’s 46% and nearby schools’ 51% average. Seventh-grade math, at 34%, is an especially weak point relative to nearby schools.

Results and overall standing have improved, though not evenly across subjects. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, average proficiency rose 14 points in math, 11 in reading, 13 in writing and 18 in social studies; seventh-grade science rose 5 points but remained 5 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school 140th of 326 Kentucky schools, at the 57th percentile and 3 stars, up from the 26th percentile in 2022–2023; its latest percentile is fifth among the 10 nearby schools in the comparison. The student-teacher ratio was 13.4 in 2024–2025, near the nearby average of 12.9. In that school year, 59% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 49% at nearby schools on average. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings put students with low socioeconomic status at the 32nd percentile, 25 points below the school’s overall percentile, while White and multiracial students were at the 85th and 87th percentiles. Chronic absenteeism was 27% in 2025–2026, above the Fayette County rate of 25% and the state’s 24%.

Open Quote We have had a really awful experience with the school. They have been very punitive during this global crisis. We can’t take it anymore. We have contacted everyone we could think of to contact and we won’t stop. We will keep fighting for our child. Close Quote
