Belfry Middle School Highly Ranked In KY
KENTUCKY...
Relationships, culture and ‘going above and beyond’ words that Belfry Middle School principal Matthew Mercer said are the key to successful education.
BMS ranked fourth in Kentucky on the overall Academic Index, at 110. The differance between number one and number four was only 10 points, with Scapa at Bluegrass ranking 120, Anchorage Independent Public School 119 and Corbin Middle School 114.
Mercer says recent test scores that put BMS near the top of Kentucky’s 327 middle schools “aren’t our focus.”
“Test scores don’t define us, but they do validate what we trying to accomplish here at Belfry Middle,” Mercer said. “I won’t mention test scores again all year.”
