Summary

Clark Moores Middle School serves 558 students in grades 6–8 in Richmond, in Madison County, and is mid-sized among the 11 nearby middle schools in the comparison. Its academic results are stronger than the state average in every tested subject, but some advantages over local schools and the district are modest. The clearest overall takeaway is that reading and writing stand out, while eighth-grade Editing and Mechanics is a relative weakness.

Reading and writing are the school’s strongest results: its average reading proficiency was 61.7%, compared with 48% statewide and 61.3% districtwide; eighth-grade writing was 62%, versus 48% statewide and 61% districtwide. Writing was also above the nearby-school average of 53.7%. The school was above nearby averages in five of six subjects, including math, reading, science and social studies. Editing and Mechanics was the exception: 46% proficient, compared with 51% in the district and 47% at nearby schools, although still above the 42% state average. Grade 7 was a particular bright spot, with 68% proficient in reading and 54% in math, both well above the nearby grade-level averages.

Across 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, average results rose in math, reading, science, writing and social studies, while Editing and Mechanics fell by 8 percentage points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 63rd of 326 Kentucky middle schools, in the 81st percentile with 4 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile has climbed from 48 in 2020–2021, though it eased from 82 last year. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students percentile rose from 10 in 2023–2024 to 66 in 2025–2026, still below the schoolwide 81. Its African American Students percentile was 99 in 2023–2024 and 95 in 2024–2025, compared with schoolwide percentiles of 75 and 82 in those years; no result is provided for the latest year. The student-teacher ratio was 16.6 in 2024–2025, and 57% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—both around the middle of the nearby-school group.
