Summary:
The 40353 zip code in Kentucky is home to a single middle school, McNabb Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Montgomery County school district. While McNabb Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, the school has some areas of academic strength, such as proficiency in writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics. However, the school faces challenges, including below-average mathematics and reading proficiency, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate.
McNabb Middle School has 992 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17.6, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school's spending per student is $13,238, which is above the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) are mixed, with mathematics proficiency below the county and state averages across grades 6-8, and reading proficiency above the county and state averages in grades 6-7 but below in grade 8. The school's science proficiency in 7th grade is on par with the county and state, while its writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics proficiency in 8th grade are above the county and state averages.
The school's dropout rate for 2024-2025 was 1.1%, which is a positive metric, but the chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 25.0%, which is quite high. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (58.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher-than-average economically disadvantaged population. Overall, while McNabb Middle School has some areas of strength, the declining statewide ranking and the challenges it faces in mathematics, reading, and chronic absenteeism suggest that the school may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and address these areas of concern.
