About Our School
• Jenkins Middle High School is located off of US-23 at the base of
Jenkins Mountain. The physical structure that now houses the
students in seventh through twelfth grade was built in 1971. The
faculty and staff of the school strive to ensure that all students
receive the finest education to provide them with a firm foundation
for future success. All required core classes are offered at the school
as well as electives in each discipline. Extracurricular activities
include football, basketball, baseball, softball, track, cross-country,
cheerleading, golf, and band. There is a wide range of student clubs
offered for student participation. We are fortunate to have a Family
Resource Youth Service Center (FRYSC) located in our school. The
FRYSC offers support to promote success for all students at JMHS.
They help to meet student, school, and community needs. With
today's changing world, Jenkins Middle High School remains a solid
foundation for the future success of our youth
How Our School Ensures
Educational Equity
• Measures are in place at Jenkins Middle High School to
ensure educational equity for all students regardless of
race, gender, socioeconomic status, or disabilities. All
teachers incorporate and implement classroom
instructional activities differentiated to meet all student
learning needs. Students have access to various
software designed to remove educational barriers and
provide for different learning styles and needs. Data
analysis is conducted annually using the results from
state mandated testing. This review includes an analysis
of gaps among groups and content areas. Gaps are
identified and addressed in the Comprehensive School
Improvement Plan.

National Norm Referenced Test:
• The national norm referenced test used in Kentucky, the CTBS,
allows us to compare the basic skills of our students with national
benchmarks established in 1996. These scores are reported in
percentiles, or the percentage of students who fell below a particular
score on the test. For example, “60%ile” indicates that the average
student in our school scored equal to or better than 60 percent of all
students across the nation who took the test.

ACT Five Year Trend:
The ACT is America’s most widely accepted college entrance exam. It
assesses high school students’ general educational development and
their ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice tests
cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. All
Kentucky juniors are required to take the ACT, beginning in the 20072008 school year, because of an action of the 2006 Kentucky
Legislature. This chart shows our schools progress on the ACT over the
past five years.

This number looks skewed because of the formula KDE uses to
calculate the student resources. Small districts use funds form many
different sources that are not part of the formula. Next year, they are
going to work with us to make our number more reflective of the actual
amount that is being sent at the school.
