West Carrollton Middle School

Summary:

West Carrollton Middle School is a public middle school serving 508 students in grades 7-8 in the West Carrollton City school district. The school's student population is predominantly White (55.12%), with significant percentages of African American (22.05%) and Hispanic (12.01%) students.

West Carrollton Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate that has risen from 9.4% in 2019-2020 to 33.8% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test score performance is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math (7th grade: 24%, 8th grade: 42.2%) and English Language Arts (7th grade: 46.2%, 8th grade: 41%) lower than the state and district. When analyzing subgroup performance, African American and Hispanic students perform better than the school's overall performance, while White students and students with disabilities perform significantly worse.

Compared to nearby schools, Carlisle Junior High School outperforms West Carrollton Middle School across various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school ranking. Similarly, Oakwood Junior High School, a highly-ranked middle school in the Oakwood City district, significantly outperforms West Carrollton Middle School in all areas. While West Carrollton Middle School's spending per student ($9,943 in 2018-2019) is comparable to nearby schools, the significant performance gaps suggest the school may benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to address these areas of concern.

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.
