Summary:

Claymont Middle School is a public middle school located in Uhrichsville, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the Claymont City School District, which is ranked 492 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Claymont Middle School's performance shows a mixed picture. While the school excels in 8th grade science and Algebra I, its math and English language arts scores are generally below the state average and nearby high-performing schools like Dover Middle School and Joseph Welty Middle School. Additionally, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2019-2020 to 25.5% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools. The school's spending per student, at $6,756, is also lower than nearby schools like Sandy Valley Middle School ($9,808) and Newcomerstown Middle School ($9,991), which may contribute to the school's performance challenges.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Claymont Middle School generally lags behind in terms of state rankings, test scores, and other key metrics. Schools like Dover Middle School, Joseph Welty Middle School, and Tuscarawas Middle School consistently outperform Claymont Middle School, indicating that there may be opportunities for Claymont to learn from their practices and strategies. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.

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.
