Summary:
The Wilmington City school district in Ohio has only one middle school, Rodger O. Borror Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in Algebra I, it faces significant challenges in core subject areas like Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts, with proficiency rates generally below the district and state averages.
Rodger O. Borror Middle School has a diverse student population, with 80.28% White students and representation from African American, Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial students. However, the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged community, with 48.01% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9%, which is a concern and could be a factor in its overall academic performance.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has shown some improvement in its ranking among Ohio middle schools, moving from 653 out of 1,017 in 2021-2022 to 526 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024. However, the school's consistent placement in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools by SchoolDigger suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to better serve the students of Wilmington City.
