Academically, Breckenridge Middle School performs below the state and district averages in math, reading, and science, with proficiency rates of 35.29%, 33.33%, and 10%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.47%, 49.85%, and 39.56%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 171 out of 523 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 353 out of 545 in 2023-2024. However, the school's special education program stands out, with students in this subgroup performing exceptionally well and ranking 304 out of 307 middle schools in 2023-2024.

The school has also experienced demographic shifts, with an increase in the percentage of Hispanic and Native American students.

This, coupled with an increase in the student-teacher ratio from 24 in 2020-2021 to 31.3 in 2022-2023, may be contributing factors to the school's declining academic performance and warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve outcomes for all students.

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.
