My daughter's teachers encouraged her to do her best at all times. She came away from Foley with a positive attitude and pride in herself & Foley. Administration and staff are available and welcome parental involvement. I don't think there is enough, it is always the same parents volunteering their time. My son is looking forward to Foley this school year, I'm sure he'll have a great experience too! Read less

I think Foley has potential but unfortunately admin, faculty & parents have been at odds over dress code issues. Parents are treated as if their concerns aren't important. Principal has control of every committee, meeting, and decisions in the school. Parents and teachers are put on the committees

Teachers want parents to believe students are happy about the dress code but I have spoken to many and none have been excited about it.

Foley middle school is a wonderful school. There have been changes implemented that some have been unhappy with, the change I am speaking of is the newly implemented dress beginning this school year 2003-2004 code which has gone with much success and is accepted and liked by the majority of parents.

The principal of the school is very active and goes above and beyond to be of any assistance the parents or students need. I feel Foley is very lucky to have such leadership. Beginning this year Foley offers many after school extracurricular activities. The students are very excited and enjoying the newly implemented program. Transportation is even provided for students if needed. I am proud that my child is fortunate enough to attend such a wonderful school. Read less

Foley Middle School is a very unpleasant school for children to attend. The principal and some of the teachers are very rude to parents and do not want parent involvement. Parents at Foley would love to have help in getting the school administration and faculty to work as a team with parents.

* In 2007-2008 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in several subjects. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The results reflect the performance of students enrolled for at least 100 days before testing. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky. KCCT academic indices range between 0 and 140, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
