White Pine Middle School

Summary:

White Pine Middle School is a public middle school serving 245 students in grades 6-8 in Ely, Nevada. The school faces several challenges, including below-average test scores, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio.

According to the key insights, White Pine Middle School's test scores in mathematics and reading are generally below the state and district averages, though the school's science proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, which may be an attempt to address the needs of this student population. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 98 to 1 may impact the level of individual attention and support that students receive.

Despite these challenges, the school's higher-than-average science proficiency rates suggest that there may be opportunities to leverage this strength and potentially apply similar strategies to improve performance in other subject areas. Additionally, the increased spending per student could be an opportunity to invest in targeted interventions and support programs to address the specific needs of the school's student population. White Pine Middle School is the only middle school within 20 miles, and it is part of the White Pine County School District.

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.
