Cleveland Middle

Summary:

Cleveland Middle is a public middle school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 561 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Albuquerque School District, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Cleveland Middle has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 55-119 out of the state's middle schools.

Cleveland Middle has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has a diverse student population, with significant representation of Hispanic, White, and Native American students, but struggles to serve its Asian and African American student populations. Academically, Cleveland Middle's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (38%), Mathematics (25%), and Science (38%) are slightly below the state and district averages. However, the school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years. Compared to nearby schools like Desert Ridge Middle and Jefferson Middle, Cleveland Middle's academic performance is generally lower.

Despite these challenges, Cleveland Middle has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively stable academic performance. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.3 over the past few years, could be a strength, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. By focusing on addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population and exploring best practices from neighboring high-performing schools, Cleveland Middle may be able to improve its academic outcomes and better support the success of all its students.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Cleveland Middle
