Summary
North Oldham Middle School serves 720 students in grades 6–8 in Goshen, in Oldham County. Its 2025–26 proficiency results were generally well above state averages, and above the average of nearby schools in every subject. The most important caution is a sharp eighth-grade decline: from the prior year, scores fell 15 points in reading, 20 in writing and 23 in editing and mechanics.
Mathematics is the school’s clearest comparative strength: its average was 68% proficient, versus 40% statewide, 60% in the district and 45% at nearby schools. Science also stood out at 48%, compared with 28% statewide, 41% in the district and 34% nearby. Seventh grade was especially strong: students scored 77% in both math and reading, the highest results among the 11 schools compared. Reading overall averaged 67%, well above the state’s 48% and nearby schools’ 52%, and close to the district’s 66%. The advantages are thinner in writing and social studies: North Oldham matched district averages in both, and its social studies result was only 4 points above the nearby-school average. Eighth-grade reading is a particular concern: North scored 52%, below the district’s 55% and nearby East Oldham Middle School (63%) and South Oldham Middle School (56%), though above the state’s 40%.
Over four years, math improved by 4 points and science by 6, while writing fell 9 points, social studies 6 and editing and mechanics 19. Some state-score gaps narrowed as North Oldham’s results declined, so that narrowing is not itself evidence of improvement. SchoolDigger ranked the school 26th of 326 Kentucky middle schools, at the 92nd percentile with five stars; its percentile had been 98 in each of the two previous years. In 2024–25, the student–teacher ratio was 18.5, above the nearby-school average of 16.2, and 11% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One notable subgroup result in SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves student groups is the Hispanic Students ranking: percentile 54 in 2025–26, down from 89 in each of the two prior years, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 92.
