Rapid Run Middle School

Summary:

Rapid Run Middle School is a public middle school located in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 605 students. The school is part of the Oak Hills Local School District, which is ranked 196 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rapid Run Middle School consistently performs above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 75.3% in 8th grade Science, 71.3% in 6th grade Mathematics, and 74.9% in 6th and 7th grade English Language Arts, all of which were significantly higher than the state averages. The school's Algebra I end-of-course proficiency rate was also an impressive 100% in 2023-2024, far exceeding the state average of 55.9%. Compared to other middle schools in the Oak Hills Local School District, Rapid Run Middle School generally outperforms its peers, particularly in academic achievement. However, some nearby schools, such as Bridgetown Middle School and Harrison Middle School, have also demonstrated strong academic performance, matching or exceeding Rapid Run Middle School's proficiency rates in several subject areas.

Rapid Run Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with 87.44% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is higher than the racial diversity seen in many of the nearby schools, such as Delhi Middle School and Colerain Middle School, which have more diverse student bodies. The school's performance for its female, white, African American, and multi-racial student subgroups is noteworthy, often placing in the top 20% of Ohio middle schools. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 8.6% in 2019-2020 to 23.7% in 2022-2023, is a concerning trend that the school and district should address.

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.
