Beulah Middle School

Summary:

Beulah Middle School is a public middle school in Beulah, North Dakota, serving 236 students in grades 5-8. The school has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range among North Dakota middle schools, with a current ranking of 15 out of 24 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beulah Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.41%) compared to the state average, and lower percentages of minority students. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in NDSA Mathematics and Reading have been consistently below the state averages. The school has also experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, reaching a high of 26% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state's average. Interestingly, Hazen Middle School, located approximately 7.6 miles away, has a similar racial makeup but a lower free and reduced lunch rate and a higher student-teacher ratio.

Beulah Middle School's statewide ranking has been on a downward trend, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state. The school's lack of racial diversity may impact its ability to address the needs of a more diverse student population. Additionally, the inconsistent academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rate are significant concerns that the school should address through targeted strategies to improve student outcomes. The comparison to Hazen 3 district suggests that Beulah Middle School may need to examine its resource allocation and staffing model to ensure it is meeting the needs of its 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.
