Washington Junior High School

Summary:

Washington Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with a student population of 510. The school is part of the Washington Local School District, which is ranked 570 out of 835 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Junior High School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (36.7%) compared to the state average (19.9%), as well as lower test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's proficiency rates in 8th grade Mathematics (23.9%) and English Language Arts (38.4%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 46.4% and 57.5%, respectively. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students lagging behind their White and Asian peers. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($7,829 in 2018-2019) is slightly higher than the state average but lower than some nearby higher-performing schools, such as Perrysburg Junior High School, which has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate (9.0%) and significantly higher test scores.

The school's declining performance relative to other middle schools in Ohio, with its statewide ranking dropping from 340 out of 1,035 in 2014-2015 to 717 out of 1,048 in 2022-2023, suggests the need for comprehensive improvement strategies. The high percentage of students (53.53%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, often an indicator of low socioeconomic status, may contribute to the school's challenges. Additionally, the persistent achievement gaps among different student subgroups, with White and Asian students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers, warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.

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.
