Summary:

The 42028 zip code in Kentucky is home to a single middle school, Livingston County Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Livingston County school district.

Livingston County Middle School has faced declining performance in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 211 out of 327 Kentucky middle schools in 2022-2023 to 245 out of 320 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating. The school's academic proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 39% of 6th graders proficient in math compared to the 41% state average. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 1.1% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% for the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite having adequate resources, with a spending per student of $14,901 and a student-teacher ratio of 16:1, Livingston County Middle School faces significant challenges. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with 60.71% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's leadership and the district may need to closely examine the root causes of these issues and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
