Summary:
Timothy L. Johnson Academy Middle is the sole middle school located in the Timothy L. Johnson Academy district in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 195 students. While the school boasts a diverse student population, with a majority of Asian and African American students, its academic performance has been consistently low, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.
The school's ILEARN test scores have been a significant concern, with only 12.18% of students proficient or better in ELA and a mere 2.56% proficient or better in Math for the 2023-2024 school year. This trend has persisted over the past few years, suggesting that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 9.9%, which could further contribute to the academic challenges faced by the students.
The school's financial and resource constraints may also be a factor in its academic struggles. With a spending per student of $9,288 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.7, the school may be operating with limited resources, which could impact its ability to provide the necessary support and resources for its students. Furthermore, the high percentage of students (81.54%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which can present unique challenges in terms of addressing equity and inclusion issues to better support the learning needs of all its students.
