Schroeder Middle School

Summary:

Schroeder Middle School is a public middle school in Grand Forks, North Dakota, serving 549 students in grades 6-8. The school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outperforming the Grand Forks 1 School District and the state of North Dakota in both mathematics and reading proficiency.

Schroeder Middle School's academic excellence is evident in its strong statewide ranking, placing 2nd out of 24 North Dakota middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly impressive for both female and male students, ranking 1st out of 19 ND middle schools for both subgroups. However, the school's relatively homogeneous student population, with 84.15% of students identifying as white, and its lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (16.58% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) may contribute to its academic success.

In comparison to nearby schools, Schroeder Middle School outperforms Valley Middle School and South Middle School in both mathematics and reading proficiency. Valley Middle School, in particular, struggles with academic performance, with only 22% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 39% in reading. While Schroeder's dropout rates are relatively low, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10% in 2018-2019 to 20% in 2022-2023, which could be an area of focus for the school's administration.

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.
