Floyd C Fretz Middle School

Summary:

Floyd C Fretz Middle School is a public middle school located in Bradford, Pennsylvania, serving 568 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Bradford Area School District, which is ranked 215 out of 606 school districts in the state.

Floyd C Fretz Middle School has a unique demographic profile, with a predominantly white student population (91.2%) and a very high percentage (100%) of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Academically, the school performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency (57.4% vs. 53.8%) and science proficiency (60.2% vs. 65.6%), but below the state and district averages in math proficiency (35.2% vs. 39.3% and 40.1%, respectively). The school maintains an impressive 0% dropout rate and spends more per student ($14,882 in 2021-2022) than the state average.

While the school's performance in certain areas is commendable, the lack of comparative data for nearby schools makes it difficult to fully assess its overall performance. However, the school's commitment to supporting its economically disadvantaged student population is noteworthy, and its strong ELA and science proficiency rates suggest that it is providing a solid educational foundation for its students.

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.
