Miller Ridge Elementary School

Summary:

Miller Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Middletown, Ohio, serving 406 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Middletown City School District.

While Miller Ridge outperforms the district and state averages in several subject areas, such as 5th grade Science, 3rd grade Math, and 5th grade English Language Arts, the school also faces some challenges. Its 4th grade Math and English Language Arts scores lag behind the state average, and the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.5% in 2019-2020 to 23.1% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school's White students and male students perform in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, indicating achievement gaps that need to be addressed.

Interestingly, George H. Gerke Elementary and William C. Schenck Elementary, which are nearby schools in the Franklin City district, outperform Miller Ridge in several academic areas. However, Miller Ridge's low-income students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged 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.
