Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School

Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School district in Columbus, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 134 students, the school has a predominantly African American (74.63%) and Hispanic (24.63%) student population.

While the school's 8th-grade science and mathematics performance exceeds the state average, its overall academic performance on Ohio State Tests has been consistently below average, with the school ranking in the lower half of Ohio middle schools for the past three years. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 39.5% is significantly higher than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $7,214 suggests potential resource constraints that could be impacting its ability to provide a high-quality education.

Given the school's mixed academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential resource constraints, Midnimo Cross Cultural Middle School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, attendance, and overall school performance. The school's diverse student population also highlights the need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support for students from diverse backgrounds.
