Academically, the school's performance on ILEARN tests is generally higher than the district average but lower than the state average, with 38.62% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.36% proficient in math. The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 22.5% in 2020-2021 to 17.3% in 2022-2023, though this rate is still higher than the state average and some nearby schools, such as Riverside Junior High (6.8% chronic absenteeism).

However, Eastwood lags behind higher-performing schools like Riverside Junior High and Merle Sidener Gifted Academy, which are in other districts. Addressing the school's challenges in academic achievement, particularly in math, and high chronic absenteeism rates could help Eastwood Middle School improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.

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.
