Covington Middle School

Summary:

Covington Middle School is a public middle school in Covington, Indiana, serving 190 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Covington Community School Corp, which is ranked 59 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Covington Middle School has consistently performed well on state assessments, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math often exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 13.7% to 15.8% over the past three years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significant population of students from low-income families, with 44.74% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the challenges of a high percentage of students from low-income families, Covington Middle School has been effective in supporting student learning and academic achievement. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, and the district is investing resources to support its diverse student population. However, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities for all students could be areas of focus for the school and district moving forward.

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.
