Alliance Middle School

Summary:

Alliance Middle School is a public middle school serving 602 students in grades 6-8 in Alliance, Ohio, which is part of the Alliance City School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates and lower academic performance on state tests compared to state averages and neighboring schools.

Alliance Middle School's racial makeup is 66.28% White, 13.46% African American, 6.48% Hispanic, and 13.62% two or more races, which is more diverse than schools like Salem Junior High (89.03% White), Oakwood Middle School (69.79% White), and Louisville Middle School (93.91% White). However, the school has grappled with chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.5% to 35.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and many nearby schools, such as Louisville Middle School (0.1% chronic absenteeism) and West Branch Middle School (14.6%).

Academically, Alliance Middle School's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are generally lower than state averages and nearby schools. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (25.6% for 6th grade, 31.2% for 7th grade, 40.4% for 8th grade) and English Language Arts (41.9% for 6th grade, 48% for 7th grade, 37.2% for 8th grade) were well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Ohio middle schools.

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.
