Grandview Middle

Summary:

Grandview Middle is a public middle school located in Hickory, North Carolina, serving around 400 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Hickory City Schools district, which is ranked 129 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grandview Middle has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 23.75% White, 24.75% African American, 34.5% Hispanic, 5.25% Asian, and 10.75% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively well compared to other subgroups like Asian, African American, and multi-racial students. Grandview Middle has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Northview Middle.

Grandview Middle's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other middle schools in the state. The significant differences in performance between the school's student subgroups, as well as its high percentage of students from low-income families, may be contributing factors to its relatively lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. Addressing these socioeconomic and demographic challenges could be crucial in improving the school's overall outcomes and better serving its diverse student population.

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.
