Summary

Turkey Foot Middle School is a public middle school located in Edgewood, Kentucky, serving 950 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Kenton County School District, which is ranked 20 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Turkey Foot Middle School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Kentucky middle schools over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as male students and white students, who have ranked in the top 25-30% and top 17-25% of Kentucky middle schools, respectively, in recent years. Additionally, the school's gifted and talented students have ranked in the top 30-40% of middle schools in the state. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps for other subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Gray Middle School and Conner Middle School in the Boone County School District, Turkey Foot Middle School's performance is generally lower. This provides an opportunity for the school to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing institutions to improve its own practices and outcomes. Additionally, Turkey Foot Middle School has seen an increase in spending per student, which is a positive trend, but the school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates that could impact student learning and achievement.
