Summary

Trigg County Middle School is a public middle school located in Cadiz, Kentucky, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 421 students. The school is part of the Trigg County School District, which is ranked 112 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Trigg County Middle School has consistently performed below the state average in most academic subjects, with only a few exceptions. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade students outperformed the state average in mathematics (51% proficient or better vs. 40% statewide). However, the school's performance in other subjects, such as reading and science, has been consistently lower than the state average. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 28.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Trigg County Middle School, the school's academic performance has not been commensurate with the level of investment.

When compared to the nearby Caldwell County Middle School and Christian County Middle School, Trigg County Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in most subjects. However, Trigg County Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the nearby schools, which suggests that the school may need to examine how it is utilizing its resources to support student learning.
