New Market Middle is a strong academic performer, consistently outpacing state and district averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 34.5% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 32.1% for the district and 24.1% for the state. In ELA, 62.4% of students were proficient or better, compared to 60% for the district and 48.4% for the state. The school also excels in supporting its Hispanic and special needs student subgroups, ranking 32nd and 11th, respectively, out of Maryland middle schools in 2020-2021. However, the school's performance for its White student subgroup is only average, suggesting a need to address potential achievement gaps.

While New Market Middle outperforms many nearby middle schools like Monocacy Middle, Crestwood Middle, and West Frederick Middle, it lags behind high-performing schools like Urbana Middle and Windsor Knolls Middle, also in the Frederick County Public Schools district. Additionally, the school's strong academic performance may be influenced by its relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting the need to continue addressing equity and ensuring all students have the support they need to succeed.

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.
