Summary:

Sky View Middle School is a public middle school serving 886 students in grades 6-8 in Leominster, MA, which is part of the Leominster school district. The school has seen an increase in racial diversity over the past few years, with the percentage of Hispanic students rising from 37.09% in 2020-2021 to 44.58% in 2022-2023.

Academically, Sky View Middle School struggles, with overall MCAS proficiency rates below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian and English Language Learner student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts middle schools. However, the school performs relatively well for African American and Homeless student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of middle schools in the state.

Despite its academic challenges, Sky View Middle School has a student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which is lower than some of the nearby schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating below-average performance compared to other middle schools in the state. Addressing the uneven academic performance and implementing targeted strategies to support the diverse student population could be key focus areas for the school and Leominster school district moving forward.

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.
