Oneida Middle School

Summary:

Oneida Middle School is a public middle school in Oneida, Tennessee, serving 264 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Oneida District, which is ranked 74 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Oneida Middle School has a predominantly white student population (94.7%), its academic performance has been a concern. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts have consistently lagged behind the state averages, with only 17.9% to 33.7% of students proficient in math and 30.3% to 34.4% proficient in ELA. Interestingly, the school's special education and low-income students have performed better than the state averages for these subgroups, but the white student population has struggled. In comparison, Huntsville Middle School, a nearby school with a similar racial makeup and district ranking, has generally higher academic performance in these core subjects.

Oneida Middle School's declining statewide ranking, from 177 out of 362 Tennessee middle schools in 2016-2017 to 286 out of 580 in 2023-2024, suggests that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other middle schools across the state. The relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,345 to $9,987 over the past few years, also raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and the factors contributing to the school's academic challenges. By closely examining the school's strengths, weaknesses, and comparisons to nearby schools, the district and school leaders can develop targeted strategies to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all 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.
