Roxboro Middle School

Summary:

Roxboro Middle School is a public middle school located in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, serving 588 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, which is ranked 556 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roxboro Middle School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.6% in 2020-2021 to 48.4% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 5.3% (8th grade) to 30.2% (6th grade), compared to the state averages of 46.3% to 50.1%. However, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is relatively strong, with rankings in the top half of Ohio middle schools.

Roxboro Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Monticello Middle School (also in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District) and Beachwood Middle School (in the Beachwood City School District) have higher academic proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings, Roxboro Middle School's per-student spending of $11,615 in 2018-2019 is on par with these nearby schools, suggesting that funding and resources may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.
