Crossroads Middle School

Summary:

Crossroads Middle School is a public middle school located in Fairfield, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,135 students. The school is part of the Fairfield City School District, which is ranked 393 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crossroads Middle School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Ohio middle schools, with its performance on state assessments generally on par with or slightly above the Fairfield City School District and the state of Ohio averages, particularly in science and English language arts. The school stands out in its performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, with 98.8% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the Fairfield City (62.6%) and Ohio (55.9%) averages. Crossroads Middle School also performs particularly well in supporting its African American and English Language Learner student populations, ranking in the top 100 Ohio middle schools for these subgroups in recent years. However, the school's performance for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools.

When compared to higher-performing schools in the nearby Lakota Local and Ross Local school districts, Crossroads Middle School lags behind in several academic metrics, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students compared to many nearby schools, suggests that it is effectively supporting the academic needs of these diverse learners, despite the challenges faced by its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations.

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.
