Summary:
The 41008 zip code area is served by a single middle school, Carroll County Middle School, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 544 students. Unfortunately, this school is underperforming, ranking 308 out of 320 Kentucky middle schools and receiving a 0 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Carroll County Middle School faces significant challenges, with a high dropout rate of 1.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% for the 2024-2025 school year. Student academic performance is well below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 26% of 5th graders proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 43%. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 61.58% in 2023-2024, which may contribute to the academic struggles.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,860 in 2023-2024, which is above the state average, the school is not achieving strong academic outcomes. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance. Addressing the underlying issues at Carroll County Middle School will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success.
