Hopkinsville Middle School

Summary:

Hopkinsville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with 549 students. The school is part of the Christian County School District, which is ranked 110 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hopkinsville Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 245 out of 324. The school underperforms compared to state and district averages on the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA) in core subject areas like mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31% of 7th graders and 35% of 8th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39% and 37% respectively. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for African American and Hispanic students but struggles with White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students.

While Christian County Middle School, another school in the same district, consistently outperforms Hopkinsville Middle School on academic measures, Hopkinsville Middle School spends slightly more per student. This suggests that the school may need to implement more targeted interventions and strategies to improve overall academic achievement and better support the diverse needs of its student population, which includes a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
