John Glenn Middle

Summary:

John Glenn Middle is a public middle school located in Maplewood, Minnesota, serving 985 students in grades 6-8 as part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale School District.

John Glenn Middle has a diverse student population, with significant representation of Asian (33.4%), White (23.05%), African American (18.48%), and Hispanic (14.42%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA-III), is consistently below the state and district averages in math, reading, and science proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall math proficiency was 19.82%, compared to the district's 30.38% and the state's 45.47%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for White, Multi-racial, and Special Education students compared to other Minnesota middle schools. Additionally, John Glenn Middle has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 72.49% in the 2022-2023 school year, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance.

While John Glenn Middle's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some nearby schools, such as Gentry Academy Middle and HOPE Community Academy Middle, have even lower academic proficiency rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by John Glenn Middle may be reflective of broader trends in the region. Continued monitoring and collaboration with the district and community stakeholders will be crucial in developing strategies to improve the school's performance and provide a high-quality education 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.
