Tecumseh Middle School

Summary:

Tecumseh Middle School is a public middle school located in New Carlisle, Ohio, serving around 660 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Tecumseh Local School District, which is ranked 480 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tecumseh Middle School's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state average across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were 5-10 percentage points lower than the state averages. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.1% to 30.9% over the past 4 years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools like Morton Middle School and Tippecanoe Middle School.

Tecumseh Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic and multi-racial students perform relatively well compared to state averages, white students and students with disabilities perform poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio middle schools. The school's declining statewide ranking, from a high of 404 out of 1,035 Ohio middle schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 601 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, suggests a concerning trend of overall academic performance that will need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support for struggling student groups.

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.
