Summary

Turkey Foot Middle School in Edgewood, Kentucky, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 1,006 students in a group of nearby schools across several northern Kentucky districts. Its 2025–2026 proficiency results are above state rates in every reported subject and grade, but its results are generally middle-of-the-pack locally. The clearest academic concern is grade 8 mathematics, where its proficiency rate falls below nearby and district averages.

The school’s strongest relative result is grade 7 science: 39% were proficient, 11 points above the state rate and 7 points above the nearby-school average. Grade 8 math is a contrasting weak spot: 45% were proficient, 4 points below both the district and nearby-school averages. Across all grades, Turkey Foot’s averages were above state rates by 7 to 11 points, but writing was 5 points below the district average. Its overall reading average was essentially level with nearby schools, while science and social studies were above their local averages. In short, statewide results are favorable, but they do not make Turkey Foot a local leader.

SchoolDigger ranks Turkey Foot at the 79th statewide percentile for 2025–2026, up from the 65th percentile the prior year, with its rating rising from 3 to 4 stars. Five nearby schools have higher percentiles, and the current result remains below its 88th-percentile peak. Turkey Foot also has the group’s highest student-teacher ratio: 21.6, compared with a nearby-school average of 15.7. In 2024–2025, 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 49%. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was at the 50th percentile, up from the 10th the previous year; its ranking for Hispanic Students was at the 29th percentile, down from the 62nd in 2023–2024. These subgroup rankings show different recent patterns and do not explain the reasons behind them.
