Struthers Middle School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 11.2% in 2019-2020 to 32.7% in 2022-2023, significantly above the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts, with proficiency rates ranging from 40.2% to 61.2% in ELA and 41.5% to 50% in math, compared to state averages of 49.4% to 70.6% in ELA and 46.3% to 57.4% in math. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White, multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status student populations ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Springfield Intermediate Middle School and Boardman Glenwood Junior High, Struthers Middle School generally performs worse on test scores and other metrics.

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.
