From the Adair County Middle School community.How to read these scores
What is KSA (K-PREP)?
KSA (K-PREP) is the statewide standardized test administered by Kentucky public schools.
What does "% Proficient/Distinguished" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 47.7% mean for Reading at Adair County Middle School?
It means about 47.7 percent of students tested at Adair County Middle School performed at grade level or above on the KSA (K-PREP) Reading test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Kentucky that year was 47.9%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Kentucky, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Kentucky Department of Education, Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA / K-PREP). School-level All Students subgroup from the KDE Open House supplemental datasets. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Distinguished" rate (top 2 of 4 KSA levels: Novice / Apprentice / Proficient / Distinguished).
How often is it updated?
KSA (K-PREP) is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
