Mccord Middle School

Summary:

Mccord Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels.

The school also has strong performance across various student subgroups, with its African American students ranking 55th out of 413 Ohio middle schools and its multi-racial students ranking 13th out of 239 Ohio middle schools, both with 5-star ratings. However, the school has seen a recent increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.6% in 2019-2020 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Mccord Middle School generally outperforms the nearby Kilbourne Middle School and Worthingway Middle School on academic measures, but lags behind the high-performing Olentangy Liberty Middle School, which is in a neighboring Olentangy Local district. The school's performance with gifted and talented students has been mixed, suggesting the need to evaluate its programming for advanced learners.

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.
