Summary:
Zip code 40203 has one listed middle school, Meyzeek Middle, serving grades 6–8 with 847 students. With no other middle schools in the list, parents can compare its results with state figures, but not with neighboring schools in this data set. The most important finding is that results differ sharply by grade: in 2025–2026, Meyzeek’s eighth graders were above the state in math and reading, while sixth graders were well below it in both.
Within the latest results, eighth-grade math was Meyzeek’s strongest comparison with the state: 53% were proficient, versus 39% statewide, a 14-point advantage. Eighth-grade social studies was also a relative strength, at 48% versus 39%, or 9 points higher. The largest shortfalls were in sixth-grade reading, 35% versus 54% statewide, a 19-point gap, and sixth-grade math, 27% versus 42%, a 15-point gap. Seventh graders were close to state results in math (37% versus 39%) and reading (48% versus 50%). These are grade-level comparisons, not a ranking of schools; Meyzeek is the only school listed.
