White Oak Middle School

Summary:

White Oak Middle School is a public middle school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 729 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Northwest Local School District, which is ranked 541 out of 839 districts in the state.

While the school has a diverse student body, with 44% White, 35% African American, 5% Hispanic, and 6% Asian students, it faces several challenges. White Oak Middle School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11% in 2019-2020 to 40% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and nearby schools like Delhi Middle School and Pleasant Run Middle School. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state tests lag behind the state and Northwest Local School District averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, though it performs relatively better in Algebra I.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better compared to other Ohio middle schools, but special education and English Language Learner students struggling. When compared to nearby schools like Winton Woods Intermediate School and Hartwell School, White Oak Middle School generally performs at a lower level, both in terms of academic proficiency and school rankings. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and collaboration with higher-performing neighboring schools could help White Oak Middle School improve and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
