MOT Charter School

Summary:

MOT Charter School is a public charter school in Middletown, Delaware that serves students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a diverse student population of over 1,200 students.

MOT Charter School consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts (ranging from 63.01% to 74.68% proficient) and Mathematics (ranging from 49.32% to 81.82% proficient) in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also had higher proficiency rates on the SAT for 11th grade students in English Language Arts (64.46%) and Mathematics (33.13%), compared to the state averages of 44.73% and 18.46%, respectively. Additionally, MOT Charter School has consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 93.1% to 96.6% over the past three school years, and a low dropout rate of 2.2% in the 2021-2022 school year.

While MOT Charter School has a diverse student population, the nearby Las Americas ASPIRA Academy has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.22%) compared to MOT Charter School (5.64%). Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates at Meadowood Program (37.6%) and Delaware School for the Deaf (33.6%) are concerning and may indicate challenges in student engagement and attendance at these specialized schools. MOT Charter School's spending per student ($10,748 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Meadowood Program ($99,739) and Delaware School for the Deaf ($123,712), which serve students with specialized needs.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
