Minerva Middle School

Summary:

Minerva Middle School is a public middle school in Minerva, Ohio, serving 443 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Minerva Local District, which is ranked 365 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minerva Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in various subject areas, including Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 71.3% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 46.3%. The school also has an exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 100% of students being proficient or better in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, the school struggles with the performance of special education and disabled students, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools for these subgroups.

While Minerva Middle School generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as West Branch Middle School and Louisville Middle School, which have similar demographic profiles, the school's per-student spending of $7,250 in 2018-2019 is lower than the state average. This may impact the school's ability to provide resources and support for all students, particularly those in underperforming subgroups. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, while improving, is still a concern and may be a contributing factor to the performance gaps observed in certain student subgroups.

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.
