Summary:
The Tecumseh Local district in Ohio has only one middle school, Tecumseh Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic representation, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with test scores generally below state averages and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1%.
Tecumseh Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 520 out of 1,017 Ohio middle schools in 2021-2022 to 601 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state. However, the school does have a strength in Algebra I, with 96.2% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 55.9%.
While the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rate are areas of concern, the district and school leadership may be able to leverage the school's diversity and its strength in Algebra I to improve overall student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing strategies to boost performance in core subjects could be key priorities for the school and district moving forward.
