While the school has a relatively small student population, it faces several challenges.

Academically, the school's performance on state tests is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in 8th-grade mathematics at 9.5% compared to the state average of 46.3%. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.5 students per teacher is also higher than the state average, which may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

Constellation Schools: Westpark Community Middle serves a high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 52.35% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may face additional challenges in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its student population.

Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
