Martin County Middle School

Summary:

Martin County Middle School is a public middle school in Warfield, Kentucky, serving 260 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Martin County School District, which is ranked 137 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

According to the key insights, Martin County Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Kentucky middle schools, with proficiency rates in subjects like mathematics, writing, social studies, and editing/mechanics that are 10-20 percentage points below the state averages. Compared to nearby Louisa Middle School and Belfry Middle School, Martin County Middle School lags behind in academic performance across most subject areas and grade levels. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, around 70%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic challenges.

Additionally, the relatively low per-student spending at Martin County Middle School, around $13,000-$14,000 per student, compared to the nearby Louisa Middle School, which spends over $18,000 per student, raises questions about the adequacy of resources and funding available to support the school's improvement efforts. Addressing these issues will be crucial for Martin County Middle School to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its students.

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.
