North College Hill Middle School

Summary:

North College Hill Middle School is a public middle school serving around 430 students in grades 5-8 in the North College Hill City School District in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio middle schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating out of 5 for several years.

North College Hill Middle School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with students performing significantly below state and local averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in math, compared to the state average of 57.4%. The school also has a staggeringly high chronic absenteeism rate of 55.0%, which is much higher than the state average of around 20%. Nearby schools, such as Pleasant Run Middle School, Bridgetown Middle School, and Winton Woods Middle School, generally outperform North College Hill Middle School across academic metrics and student demographics.

The school's low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates are likely due to a combination of factors, including funding and resource constraints, as well as the unique challenges faced by the predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that involves the school, district, and community stakeholders.

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.
