Fleming County

The Fleming County school district in Kentucky consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 123 out of 159 in Kentucky and rated 1 star, there is significant variation in performance between the individual schools.

Simons Middle School stands out as a relatively stronger performer, ranking in the top 140 middle schools in the state and earning a 3-star rating. It has relatively strong test scores, with 58-64% of students proficient in reading and 30-34% proficient in math, as well as a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2. Ewing Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 392 elementary schools and having some of the highest test scores in the district, with 44-56% of students proficient in reading and 19-50% proficient in math.

However, across the district, math proficiency rates are consistently lower than reading proficiency, suggesting a need to focus on improving math instruction and outcomes. Additionally, the schools in Fleming County serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients ranging from 53.52% at the high school to 65.23% at Simons Middle School. This presents additional challenges that the district may need to address to support student success.
