Summary

Middletown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Louisville, Kentucky, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 572 students. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middletown Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is generally below the Jefferson County and Kentucky state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Middletown Elementary's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 45% in Math, 56% in Reading, and 51% in Writing, compared to the Jefferson County averages of 30%, 38%, and 25% respectively. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some years showing better results than others. Middletown Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Middletown Elementary's performance is generally lower than Bowen Elementary and Stopher Elementary, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. However, Middletown Elementary outperforms some nearby schools, such as Zachary Taylor Elementary and Cochrane Elementary, in certain academic areas. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased spending per student suggest potential areas for improvement with the right strategies and interventions.

I love Middletown. I have 3 children and they all will be going through Middletown. The staff is friendly and helpful. Being a stay at home mom, I am up there a lot. They always make me feel welcome. I would not think of sending my kids anywhere else! Close Quote
