Grand Valley Middle School

Summary:

Grand Valley Middle School is a public middle school located in Orwell, Ohio, serving 276 students in grades 5-8 and is part of the Grand Valley Local District, which is ranked 539 out of 839 districts in the state.

While Grand Valley Middle School's academic performance is generally above the state average in most subjects and grade levels, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Southington Middle School, Chardon Middle School, and Champion Middle School. The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 28.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance for gifted and talented students is relatively low, ranking in the bottom 50% of Ohio middle schools in 2020-2021.

Over the past several years, Grand Valley Middle School's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 3 stars out of 5 in 2018-2019 to only 2 stars in recent years. This suggests that the school may be facing increasing challenges in maintaining its academic standards. Addressing these issues and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could help Grand Valley Middle School improve its educational 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.
