Summary:
The city of Middleport, Ohio is home to two elementary schools, Meigs Primary School and Meigs Intermediate School, both part of the Meigs Local school district. While the schools serve a similar student population, the data suggests they face several challenges, including a lack of diversity, academic underperformance, limited resources, and high chronic absenteeism.
Both Meigs Primary and Meigs Intermediate have a predominantly white student population, with over 94% of students identifying as white. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Academically, Meigs Intermediate School's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science, indicating that students in the Middleport area may be struggling compared to their peers across Ohio.
The schools also face resource constraints, with relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the academic underperformance. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism, especially at Meigs Primary School (28.1%), are concerning and may be a barrier to student learning and achievement. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach involving increased funding, targeted interventions, and community engagement to support student success in the Middleport area.
