When compared to nearby schools, such as Lied STEM Academy Middle School, which is located just 3.88 miles away, the performance gap becomes even more evident. Lied STEM Academy had significantly higher academic performance, with 52.7% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics and 60.4% in SBAC Reading. The persistent underperformance of Findlay Clifford O Middle School suggests the need for a thorough evaluation of the school's resources, teaching practices, and support systems to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.

Open Quote findlay middle school has been nothing but trouble and a source of stress ever since my daughters started there. The teachers seem more immature than the students. Their dress code policies are insane. My daughters have spent more time out of school than in, due to getting kicked out for dress code. Education is not a priority in this school, which is really sad for our future. What ever you do- DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE if you love them. Close Quote

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.
