Middle Schools in Kenton City

Summary:

Kenton City, Ohio has only one middle school, Kenton Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools, with below-average proficiency rates on state tests, particularly in Mathematics. However, the school's Algebra I exam scores are strong, exceeding the state average.

Kenton Middle School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.77%) and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8%. The school's per-student spending is below the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 19:1 is relatively low, suggesting potential resource constraints that may be impacting academic outcomes.

While Kenton Middle School has some areas of strength, such as its Algebra I performance, the school's overall academic performance and socioeconomic challenges indicate that the Kenton City district and community may need to work together to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
