St. Marys Middle School

Summary:

St. Marys Middle School is a public middle school serving 454 students in grades 6-8 in St. Marys, Ohio, which is part of the St Marys City School District. The school generally performs above the state average on Ohio state tests, with strong results in subjects like Science and Algebra I. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and it faces challenges such as high chronic absenteeism.

Academically, St Henry Middle School and Coldwater Middle School consistently outperform St. Marys Middle School and rank higher in the state. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with relatively low rankings for its white students and special education students, but better performance for its low socioeconomic status students.

Despite these challenges, St. Marys Middle School has a history of strong academic performance, with a 3-star or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking in the top 50% of Ohio middle schools for most years. The school's spending per student is also lower than nearby schools, suggesting it is able to achieve these results efficiently. Addressing the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and uneven subgroup performance, could help the school maintain its strong academic standing and better serve its diverse student 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.
