Troutman Middle

Summary:

Troutman Middle is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Troutman, North Carolina, with a student population of 399 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Iredell-Statesville Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Troutman Middle has a higher percentage of White students (59.65%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations, such as Third Creek Middle. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the Iredell-Statesville Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages. In 2023-2024, Troutman Middle's proficiency rates ranged from 24.5% to 58.5% across different subject areas and grade levels, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 274 out of 627 middle schools in 2013-2014 to 633 out of 793 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

While Troutman Middle's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its gifted and talented students performing very well, the school's African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students have struggled, with rankings in the bottom half or bottom quarter of the state. This suggests that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address the academic challenges faced by its diverse student population. Interestingly, Troutman Middle's performance is notably lower than that of some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Woodland Heights Middle and Oakwood Middle IB School, which are also part of the Iredell-Statesville district, indicating that there may be opportunities for Troutman Middle to learn from and emulate their practices.

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.
