Academically, Rodger O. Borror Middle School's performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 29.7% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's gifted and talented students have performed relatively well, and the school's Algebra I proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Fairfield Local Middle School, Rodger O. Borror Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts. The school's lower spending per student, at $6,458 in the 2018-2019 school year, may be a contributing factor to these challenges. Despite these difficulties, the school's strengths in supporting gifted and talented students and its strong Algebra I performance suggest areas that could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
