These schools are part of the Bullitt County school district, which has an overall 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Based on the data, Bernheim Middle School stands out as the top performer in the group, with the highest statewide ranking, a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and the strongest academic proficiency rates across multiple subjects. In contrast, Bullitt Lick Middle School and Zoneton Middle School have very low statewide rankings and significantly lower test scores, particularly in mathematics and reading.
