Summary

Bryan Station Middle School is a public magnet middle school in Lexington, Kentucky, serving 720 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fayette County School District, which is ranked 74 out of 157 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its magnet program status, Bryan Station Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past decade, with a fluctuating SchoolDigger rating between 1 and 3 stars. The school performs relatively well for its African American and multi-racial student populations, but struggles with its Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom half or quarter of Kentucky middle schools for these subgroups. Academically, the school lags behind the Fayette County and state averages in proficiency rates for the Kentucky State Assessments, particularly in mathematics.

Interestingly, Southern Middle School, Tates Creek Middle School, and Beaumont Middle School are all located relatively close to Bryan Station Middle School, yet exhibit a wide range of performance, with some ranking among the top middle schools in the state. The high proportion of economically disadvantaged students at Bryan Station Middle School, along with its higher spending per student, suggest that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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
