Now as in at the end of my eight grade year all the new teachers and staff are horrilbe. The difference is the year before everyone was friends and this year all we hear is how horrible we are. The school was great before but now with new staff trying to be strict and now students are being bad because of it. Read less

I am a student at Stuart Middle School. I am a current sixth grader. I am a student on Student Council, as well as a Cellist. At Stuart I feel the education is highest of quality and class. I am a Navigator in 603. My classes include social studies, orchestra, math, science, reading and language arts.
... Read more I enjoy all of my classes. My orchestra is of high quality. I have seen bad reviews of the orchestra program. But I do believe that if a sixth grader gets straight DISTIGUISHED at KMEA, then the school and orchestra is of high quality. Read less

My daughter attended this school year Aug/2007 and was very unhappy. We really dislike this school and everything about it. Their up to 30 students in each class. No control at all (ISAP is a joke to the kids). Maybe she needed to be on another team, but i doubt it. The staff seemed to be burnt out.
... Read more Just way too many students in this school. They really need alot help there. I do not recommend this school to anyone. Read less

Hi. I go to Stuart at the moment. It is an okay school, coming from a student perspective. The down fall's are the lack of dicipline on certain teams, mainly those that are below AP classes. Also, when it comes to awards, they focus on sports. If you are on a sports team, man, you are best of the best.
... Read more those on academic lists don't receive much recognition. I myself are on no sports teams and I'm not planning on getting much when the awards day comes around. The teachers there are great, well most of them. Stuart has a great great health program. The instructor is my favorite teacher. If you are in helath programs you are most likely to be accepted to PRP if your grades are good. AP programs helps that, too. Read less

I went to Stuart in the eighties, when it was the advanced program school for the area. I received an excellent education, and remember my time there quite fondly. Unfortunately, the school has declined in the intervening period. I have two sons there now. While I have no real concerns about their safety
... Read more (the school is not violent) I have very serious concerns about their academics. Many of the programs and clubs I enjoyed there are now defunct. The orchestra program is absolutely pitiful, with poor equipment and very poor instruction. The foreign language program is barely adequate for any child who is likely to go to college down the line. Worksheets and busywork are the norm, but real learning is a thing of the past at Stuart. Both the advanced and honors programs are working at a level well below what was considered 'regular' program curricula only fifteen years ago. Read less
* 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.
