Summary

South Oldham Middle School in Crestwood, Kentucky, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 848 students in the Oldham County area. Its results are generally strong, but vary by grade and subject. Math is its clearest advantage: students averaged 66% proficient across grades 6–8, compared with 40% statewide and a 44% mean at nearby schools.

Math is a standout locally, too: South’s grade 8 math result of 64% was the highest among the 11 nearby schools, and its grade 6 result of 72% was second-highest. Reading averaged 66%, matching the Oldham County average and exceeding the state’s 48% and nearby-school mean of 51%. The softer spots are science, writing and editing/mechanics: each was below the district result by 2, 3 and 1 percentage points, respectively, though all were above state results. Grade 8 reading also fell to 56% in 2025–2026, down 7 points from the year before.

Results have improved overall since 2022–2023: the grades 6–8 average rose 9 points in math and 7 points in reading. However, grade 8 editing and mechanics dropped 20 points over that period, from 69% to 49%, and writing fell 7 points, from 62% to 55%. SchoolDigger ranks South 33rd of 326 schools, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars, placing it fourth by percentile among the 11 nearby schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 18.9 was the highest in that group. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 22% in 2024–2025, the third-lowest nearby. SchoolDigger’s ranking of how well the school serves Hispanic students was at the 66th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 83rd percentile the prior year; its ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 72nd in 2025–2026.

Very disappointing experience. Very overcrowded (was that way before COVID, much worse now). My kids have had "gym" class every year, because they can put 80 kids in there and not have to put them in a language or humanities class. Teachers are apathetic and burnt out. The leadership of the school is patronizing when concerns are raised. I would look elsewhere in the district (EAST) or skip middle school for private school with a plan to return for high school Close Quote
