Federal Hocking Middle School

Summary:

Federal Hocking Middle School is a public middle school in Stewart, Ohio, serving 205 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Federal Hocking Local District, which is ranked 527 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Federal Hocking Middle School faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools like Warren Middle School and Athens Middle School. The school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts are significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 49.4%, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively better, ranking higher than the state average in these subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools like Nelsonville-York Junior High School and Meigs Middle School, Federal Hocking Middle School has a significantly less diverse student population, with 96.1% of students identifying as white. The school's spending per student is also lower than the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. To improve the overall performance of the school, the district and school administration should focus on addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, exploring ways to increase funding and resources, and implementing targeted interventions to support all students, particularly in the areas of Math and English Language Arts.

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.
