Summary:
The two middle schools located in Hamilton City, Ohio, Garfield Middle School and Wilson Middle School, serve students in grades 6-8. While both schools face challenges, the data suggests that Wilson Middle School is the stronger performer of the two, outpacing Garfield Middle School and the Hamilton City district average on several key metrics.
Wilson Middle School has a higher statewide ranking, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and outperforms Garfield Middle School on state test proficiency in science, math, and English language arts. It also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students proficient in Algebra I. However, both schools underperform the state average on several state test proficiency metrics, particularly in mathematics, suggesting room for improvement in math instruction and support.
The data also reveals differences in the schools' demographics and funding, with Garfield Middle School having a more diverse student population and Wilson Middle School spending $548 more per student. These factors may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools, and further analysis would be needed to determine the exact relationship.
