Oslo Middle School

Summary:

Oslo Middle School is a public middle school located in Vero Beach, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 864 students. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 13th out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Oslo Middle School consistently outperforms the Indian River District and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Geometry, and EOC/Civics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Oslo Middle School had 74% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 55% for the district and the state. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.0% in 2019-2020 to 38.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Sebastian River Middle School (36.0%) and Storm Grove Middle School (33.9%).

Oslo Middle School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 42.36% White, 23.26% African American, and 25.69% Hispanic, which is more pronounced compared to some nearby schools like Sebastian Charter Junior High School, which has a higher percentage of White students (67.12%). This diversity is a strength that can contribute to a rich learning environment, but the school must ensure that all students have equal access to educational opportunities and support, especially given the concerning trend in chronic absenteeism.

Open Quote HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SCHOOL. If I had the choice I wouldn't go within 1000000 miles of Oslo Middle School. The only good teachers are the ones I have the others are HORRIBLE. One even said a forbidden NO NO WORD. Absolutely disgusting garbage. Close Quote

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.
