Summary:
The 42003 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Reidland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its statewide ranking has declined from 63rd out of 324 Kentucky middle schools in 2023-2024 to 144th out of 320 in 2024-2025, suggesting a concerning trend in its performance.
Reidland Middle School's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas, such as 6th and 7th grade math and 7th grade science, performing below the McCracken County and state averages, while others, like 6th and 7th grade reading and 8th grade writing, are above average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students (70%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite this, the school's spending per student is higher than the national average, at $17,194 per student.
Overall, while Reidland Middle School has some areas of strength, the declining performance trend and mixed academic results suggest opportunities for improvement. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region or state could provide additional insights to help the school address its challenges and better support its students.
