Buckeye Intermediate School

Summary:

Buckeye Intermediate School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Medina, Ohio, with an enrollment of 555 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in 5th-grade Science and 4th-grade Mathematics, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 22.2.

Buckeye Intermediate School's academic performance is a standout, with 81.7% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%, and 82.3% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 67.2%. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased in recent years, it remains lower than the state average at 11.4%, suggesting the school is effectively addressing student attendance. In comparison to the nearby Strongsville Online Learning Opportunity Academy, a virtual middle school, Buckeye Intermediate School has a much larger student population, a lower chronic absenteeism rate, and a higher four-year graduation rate.

Overall, Buckeye Intermediate School appears to be a high-performing school that is providing a quality education to its students. The school's strong academic performance, relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, and low student-teacher ratio are all positive indicators of its effectiveness. However, the increasing chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that the school should address to ensure continued student success.

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.
