Mathews Junior High School

Summary:

Mathews Junior High School is a public middle school located in Vienna, Ohio, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 146 students. The school is part of the Mathews Local School District, which is ranked 357 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mathews Junior High School generally performs better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 67.4% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 49%. The school also ranks in the top 100 Ohio middle schools for its performance with gifted and talented students, indicating it is providing strong educational opportunities for its high-achieving students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.1% in 2019-2020 to 26.6% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

Compared to nearby schools like Chaney Middle at McGuffey and East Middle at PRBerry, which are part of the Youngstown City School District and have much lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, Mathews Junior High School generally outperforms these schools. Additionally, the school has consistently high proficiency rates in Algebra I, with 100% of students proficient or better in 2020-2021 and 2023-2024, significantly outpacing the state and district averages.

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.
