Summary

Taylor County Middle School in Campbellsville, Kentucky, serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 586 students—the largest enrollment among six nearby middle schools. Its SchoolDigger statewide standing is at the 42nd percentile, with two stars. The key academic takeaway is a sharp contrast between strong sixth-grade reading and weak eighth-grade Editing and Mechanics.

Sixth-grade reading is a standout: 62% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 54% statewide and 60% at most nearby schools; only Marion County Middle School scored higher, at 65%. Eighth-grade Editing and Mechanics is the clearest weakness: 28% were proficient, versus 42% statewide and a 43% nearby-school average; Taylor County was lowest among the six. The district result was also 28%. Across grades 6–8, reading averaged 50% proficient, 2 points above the state average, while math averaged 38%, 2 points below it.

Several eighth-grade results have declined: Editing and Mechanics fell 22 points, from 50% in 2022–2023 to 28% in 2025–2026; writing dropped 3 points and Social Studies 5. SchoolDigger’s percentile rose slightly, from 41 to 42, but the school ranked fifth of six nearby schools, whose average was 61. Its student-teacher ratio was 18 in 2024–2025, the highest among the nearby schools. In that school year, 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 62%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking for Multi-racial Students was 72nd percentile, compared with 42nd overall, and had risen from the 50th percentile the year before—a notably stronger recent measure of how well the school serves this group. Attendance measures were comparatively favorable: chronic absenteeism was 17% in 2025–2026, below the Taylor County district’s 19% and the state’s 24%.
