Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 41014 zip code - Holmes Middle School, which is part of the Covington Independent school district. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now ranking 301 out of 320 Kentucky middle schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Holmes Middle School is underperforming, with student proficiency rates significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 42%. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate of 1.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% for the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, Holmes Middle School is struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes for its students, 84.18% of whom are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's underperformance and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
