Summary

Stuart Academy is a public middle school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 1,008 students in grades 6-8. 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. Unfortunately, Stuart Academy has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Kentucky, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 11% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 28% in the district and 41% statewide. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rates ranged from 16% to 22% across the grades, while the district and state averages were much higher. Additionally, Stuart Academy has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 48% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Stuart Academy to the nearby Noe Middle School, which is also a public school in the Jefferson County district, it becomes clear that Stuart Academy is an outlier in terms of academic performance and other key metrics. Noe Middle School consistently outperforms Stuart Academy across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates that are often double or triple those of Stuart Academy.
