Old Mill Middle North

Summary:

Old Mill Middle North is a public magnet middle school located in Millersville, Maryland, serving around 960 students in grades 6-8. As part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 districts in Maryland, Old Mill Middle North has a diverse student population and a mix of academic strengths and challenges.

Compared to nearby schools like Severna Park Middle and Northeast Middle, Old Mill Middle North has a more racially diverse student body, with 45.62% African American, 17.71% Hispanic, and 2.6% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MCAP test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics. Notably, the school's Asian and Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking 42nd and 75th out of Maryland middle schools, respectively, in the 2020-2021 school year. In contrast, the school's performance for Special Education students and Military Connected students is among the lowest in the state.

Old Mill Middle North's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 61.15%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's outcomes. While the school performs well in certain areas, such as Algebra I, where 72% of students were proficient or better in the 2023-2024 school year, its overall statewide ranking has been declining in recent years, from 128th out of 315 Maryland middle schools in 2014-2015 to 206th out of 328 in 2023-2024. Addressing the needs of specific student subgroups and equity issues will be crucial for improving the school's performance and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.

Open Quote Even though my daughter was unenrolled in this school. She was able to attend a full day of classes. When I went to pick my child up, they were unable to locate my daughter. Close Quote

Open Quote Teachers are more "reactive" than proactive regarding motivating the students. If you, as a parent keep in constant communication with your childs teacher and your childs school progress, then they'll take an interest in your child too...It's how it should be. I also believe in parent-teacher conferencing and recognition gifts after the school year for those teachers who really make a difference in your childs life Close Quote

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.
