Gaylord Intermediate School

Summary:

Gaylord Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in the Gaylord Community Schools district in Gaylord, Michigan, with a student population of 610 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's student body is predominantly White (88.52%), with smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Academically, the school's performance varies, with some grade levels and subject areas, such as 6th-grade English Language Arts, performing above the state average, while others, like 5th-grade Social Studies, lag behind. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.62% to 55.72% over the past three school years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, Gaylord Intermediate School is located in close proximity to Gaylord Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 and exhibits some differences in performance and student demographics. Gaylord Middle School has a slightly higher statewide ranking, a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and generally stronger academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This comparison suggests opportunities for collaboration and the implementation of best practices to drive improvement at Gaylord Intermediate School.

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.
