Summary

Raceland-Worthington Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 3-8 in Raceland, Kentucky, with 460 students. The school is part of the Raceland-Worthington Independent School District, which is ranked 65 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Raceland-Worthington Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 81st to 232nd out of Kentucky's middle schools. The school's performance on state assessments (KSA) is mixed compared to the state and district averages, with some grade levels and subjects outperforming the state, while others lag behind. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 6th grade math proficiency rate was 53%, compared to 41% statewide, but its 4th grade math proficiency was only 32%, compared to 44% statewide. The school's reading proficiency rates are generally higher than its math proficiency rates, with 6th and 7th grade reading proficiency exceeding 50% in recent years.

Raceland-Worthington Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the nearby middle schools in the region, such as East Carter Middle School, Mckell Middle School, and Wurtland Middle School. However, Russell Middle School, which is only about 3 miles away, consistently outperforms Raceland-Worthington Middle School on state assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its academic performance, though the school's low-income students tend to perform better than the state average for that subgroup.
