Both schools are part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer.

Dr. J. Blaine Hudson Middle School only provided test score data for 6th-grade reading, which showed a proficiency rate of 7-8%, far below the district and state averages. Both schools also had high rates of chronic absenteeism at 25.0%, significantly higher than the state average.
The data suggests that these schools face significant challenges, with high poverty levels as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates (67.12% for Johnson Traditional Middle and 91.76% for Dr. J. Blaine Hudson Middle School). While Dr. J. Blaine Hudson Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.9:1 compared to 21:1 at Johnson Traditional Middle, this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes based on the available data.
