Middletown Elementary

Summary:

Middletown Elementary is a public elementary school located in Middletown, Maryland, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 441 students. The school is part of the Frederick County Public Schools district, which is ranked 6th out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middletown Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with its students performing significantly higher than the county and state averages on MCAP (Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program) tests, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with lower percentages of African American, Asian, and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Orchard Grove Elementary and Hillcrest Elementary. Additionally, Middletown Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a socioeconomic disparity compared to the broader community.

While Middletown Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school's demographic and socioeconomic imbalances, as well as its higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Parkway Elementary and Butterfly Ridge Elementary, suggest areas for further investigation and improvement to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the community.

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.
