Summary

Scott County Middle School is a public school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving grades 6–8 with 837 students. Its latest reported test results are above both state and Scott County district benchmarks in every tested subject and grade. The most important takeaway is that the school combines consistently strong results with especially notable grade 8 performance.

Grade 8 writing is its clearest standout: 81% of students were proficient, compared with 48% statewide and 62% districtwide, and the school led nearby schools with reported results. It also led those peers in grade 8 editing and mechanics, with 68% proficient versus 42% statewide and 50% districtwide. Reading is a relative weak spot—not below benchmark, but less distinctive: its 63% average across grades 6–8 was 6 points above the district. Results are not top among nearby schools in every grade: the school ranked fourth of 10 in grade 6 math and was second in grade 8 math, reading, and social studies, behind SCAPA at Bluegrass in those grade 8 subjects.

Results have risen over time in all six reported subject measures since 2022–2023, including 15-point gains in grade 7 science and grade 8 social studies; reading also improved overall, though its average fell from 70% in 2024–2025 to 63% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked the school 28th of 326 statewide in 2025–2026, at the 91st percentile with five stars; only SCAPA ranked higher among the listed nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s Hispanic Student ranking rose from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 72nd in 2025–2026, still below the school’s overall percentile. The student–teacher ratio was 17.1 in 2024–2025, higher than the reported ratios at nearby schools, while 53.2% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby-school average of 52.6%.
