Summary:
The Middlesboro Independent school district in Kentucky consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 traditional and 1 alternative), and no alternative schools. The data reveals stark contrasts in performance between the schools, with Middlesboro High School consistently outperforming the other schools in the district.
Middlesboro High School stands out with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 91.9% and the highest test scores across various subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Middlesboro Elementary School and Middlesboro Middle School generally perform below the state averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, with high rates of free or reduced-price lunch recipients across all the schools, ranging from 73.3% at Middlesboro High School to 86.21% at Middlesboro Alternative School. This may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed in some of the schools. Additionally, the varying spending per student across the schools suggests a potential imbalance in resource allocation within the district, which could be further investigated.
