Summary:
The Conneaut Area City district in Ohio has only one middle school, Conneaut Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 372 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as outperforming the state average in 8th grade science and Algebra I proficiency, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and student demographics.
Conneaut Middle School's student population is predominantly White (88.17%), with smaller percentages of other racial and ethnic groups, which is not representative of the overall diversity in Ohio. The school also has a high percentage of students (58.06%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 27.6% is significantly higher than the state average, which could be contributing to the lower academic performance in some areas, such as 6th and 8th grade math and ELA proficiency.
Despite these challenges, Conneaut Middle School's spending per student of $8,911 is slightly below the state average, which could be a factor in the school's mixed academic performance. Overall, the school appears to be a relatively low-performing middle school compared to state averages, and further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions could help the school improve its performance and better serve its students.
