Wiley H. Bates Middle

Summary:

Wiley H. Bates Middle is a public magnet middle school in Annapolis, Maryland, serving 682 students in grades 6-8. This school stands out for its diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students.

Academically, Wiley H. Bates Middle's performance on MCAP tests is generally lower than the state and county averages, but higher than some nearby schools like Annapolis Middle. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing very well, but African American and Hispanic students struggling in comparison. Additionally, Wiley H. Bates Middle has a relatively high percentage of students (51.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Chesapeake Bay Middle (26.52%) and Crofton Middle (18.78%).

While Wiley H. Bates Middle's status as a public magnet school likely contributes to its diverse student population, the data suggests that the school may need to focus more on addressing the needs of underperforming student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This is particularly important given the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, which does not appear to be translating into consistently stronger academic outcomes for all students. Addressing these equity concerns should be a priority for the school and the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district.

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.
