Kiser Middle

Summary:

Kiser Middle is a public middle school in Greensboro, North Carolina, serving 902 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 149 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kiser Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with 38.91% White, 41.35% African American, and 14.3% Hispanic students. The school's overall academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, particularly in 8th grade reading and science. However, Kiser Middle's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Northern Guilford Middle and Kernodle Middle, especially in mathematics.

One of the key concerns at Kiser Middle is the significant achievement gaps between its White/Asian students and African American/Hispanic students. The school's English Language Learners, low-income students, and students with disabilities also struggle, ranking in the bottom quarter of North Carolina middle schools. By addressing these disparities and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Kiser Middle has the potential to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student 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.
