Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy

Summary:

Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Middletown, Ohio, with a diverse student population. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some interesting insights to consider.

Academically, Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy's performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below the state and local district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate was 32.4% compared to the state average of 64%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 55.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Creekview Elementary (29.9%) and Madison Elementary (17.7%). However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.4 to 16.9 over the past few years, which is lower than many nearby schools.

Interestingly, Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's African American students ranked 106 out of 603 Ohio elementary schools, and its English Language Learners ranked 78 out of 258 Ohio elementary schools. This suggests that the school may have specialized programs or approaches that are effective for these populations, and understanding and replicating these successful strategies could be valuable for improving the school's overall performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
