Rootstown/Mabel Schnee Bldg Middle School

Summary:

Rootstown/Mabel Schnee Bldg Middle School is a public middle school serving 219 students in grades 6-8 in Rootstown, Ohio, which is part of the Rootstown Local School District. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages on Ohio State Tests, particularly in science and mathematics, and has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, ranking in the top 35% of Ohio middle schools.

While the school's overall academic performance is strong, it faces some challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.69%) compared to nearby schools like Hyre Community Learning Center (54.56%) and Stanton Middle School (64.39%), suggesting a lack of diversity. Additionally, the school struggles with its special education and gifted and talented student populations, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools for these groups.

Despite these challenges, Rootstown/Mabel Schnee Bldg Middle School remains a strong-performing school, with excellent test scores and a consistent 3-star rating. The school's focus on maintaining its academic excellence while addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting specific student subgroups will be crucial for its continued 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.
