Middle Schools in Berea Independent

The Berea Independent school district in Kentucky has only one middle school, Berea Community Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 230 students. While the school's overall performance is in the middle range compared to other Kentucky middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic results show a mixed picture.

On state assessments, Berea Community Middle School's proficiency rates in mathematics are below the state average across grades 6-8, while in reading, the school performs above the state average in grades 7-8 but below in grade 6.

The school also excels in editing and mechanics, with an 8th grade proficiency rate significantly above the state average.

Despite these mixed academic results, Berea Community Middle School has some positive characteristics, including a relatively high per-student spending of $12,435 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4. However, the school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 61.74%, indicating a student population facing significant economic challenges. Overall, the data suggests that while Berea Community Middle School has room for improvement, particularly in mathematics and reading, the school is working to support its students and provide a quality education.
