Mt Gilead Middle School

Summary:

Mt Gilead Middle School is a public middle school serving 243 students in grades 6-8 in Mount Gilead, Ohio, which is part of the Mount Gilead Exempted Village School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Science and Mathematics, and has shown strong performance for its special education and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Mt Gilead Middle School generally performs better on state assessments. For example, Fredericktown Middle School, which is 15.61 miles away, had lower proficiency rates in Science and Mathematics. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.5% in 2019-2020 to 41.4% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.

Despite its strong academic performance, Mt Gilead Middle School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, suggesting that the school may be performing well compared to its local peers, but there is room for improvement to reach a higher statewide ranking. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 655 out of 1,050 Ohio middle schools in 2018-2019 to 415 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, a trend that is worth monitoring to understand the factors contributing to the school's relative performance compared to other middle schools in the state.

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.
