While London Middle School has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.0% in 2019-2020 to 30.2% in 2022-2023, a significantly higher rate than the state average, the school's performance on state tests is generally below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math ranged from 36.6% to 42.6%, compared to the state averages of 50.1% to 49%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 39.9% to 64.5%, compared to the state averages of 49.4% to 61.7%. Additionally, the school's performance on state tests varies significantly across different student groups, with White students and multi-racial students performing better than the school's overall average, while students with disabilities, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and special education students performing significantly worse.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Hilliard Memorial Middle School and Mechanicsburg Middle School, London Middle School generally performs worse on state tests and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school has consistently achieved 100% proficiency on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. Despite this bright spot, the overall data suggests that London Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.

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.
