Royal Spring Middle School

Summary:

Royal Spring Middle School is a public middle school in Georgetown, Kentucky, serving 726 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Scott County School District, which is ranked 80 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Royal Spring Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Kentucky middle schools over the past 10 years, with strong academic performance, particularly in reading and writing. The school's 6th-grade students outperformed the state average in reading proficiency in 2023-2024. However, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of Hispanic students and students with disabilities, indicating a need to focus on addressing the unique needs of these subgroups. Royal Spring Middle School also has a higher per-student spending level and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, which may contribute to its strong performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Royal Spring Middle School consistently outperforms other schools in the Scott County School District. Schools with higher percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, such as Crawford Middle School and Winburn Middle School, tend to have lower academic performance, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Specialized schools like Scapa At Bluegrass and Lexington Trad Magnet School demonstrate exceptional academic performance, likely due to their selective admissions processes and specialized curricular offerings.

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.
