Matthew J Kuss Middle is a public middle school located in Fall River, MA, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 682 students. The school is part of the Fall River school district, which is ranked 320 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Matthew J Kuss Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. Additionally, the school struggles to support its diverse student population, with subgroups like Asian, African American, Hispanic, and students with disabilities ranking in the bottom quarter or bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools.

While the school's per-student spending has increased over the past few years, its academic performance has not shown significant improvement. Interestingly, some of the more distant schools, such as Berkley Middle School, Dartmouth Middle, and Freetown-Lakeville Middle School, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding the state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Matthew J Kuss Middle may require a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of the academic deficiencies.

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.
