Summary:

Lake Middle School is a public middle school located in Millbury, Ohio, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 359. The school is part of the Lake Local District, which is ranked 376 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Middle School's test scores are generally above the state average, particularly in English Language Arts, with 75.7% of 5th-grade students proficient or better compared to the state average of 70.6%. However, the school's math scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.9 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. On the other hand, Lake Middle School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.3% in 2019-2020 to 17.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools.

When compared to the nearby schools, Lake Middle School generally performs better on test scores, particularly in ELA, but has higher chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Perrysburg Junior High School, which is part of the highly-ranked Perrysburg Exempted Village district, has significantly higher test scores across all subjects and grade levels, but a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2%. Over the past several years, Lake Middle School's statewide ranking has declined, from 244 out of 1,035 Ohio middle schools in 2014-2015 to 430 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be struggling to maintain its academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

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.
