Page Middle School

Summary:

Page Middle School is a public middle school located in Page, Arizona, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 549 students. The school is part of the Page Unified School District #8, which is ranked 280 out of 288 school districts in Arizona and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Page Middle School consistently performs significantly below the state average in standardized test scores for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21% of 6th graders, 14% of 7th graders, and 20% of 8th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 43%, 41%, and 35%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is even more concerning, with only 11% of 6th graders, 9% of 7th graders, and 15% of 8th graders achieving proficiency or better, compared to the state averages of 30%, 30%, and 28%. Additionally, the school's performance in Science, as measured by the AzSCI assessment, is also low, with only 10% of 8th graders achieving proficiency or better in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the state average of 27%. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in its dropout rates, rising from 0.4% in 2017-2018 to 4.1% in 2021-2022.

Page Middle School's academic performance is consistently lower than both the Page Unified School District #8 and the state of Arizona across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 478 out of 521 Arizona middle schools in 2014-2015 to 502 out of 533 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. These challenges may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which stands at 55.74% in the 2022-2023 school year, as well as the fluctuating student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 19.1 in 2020-2021 to 21.9 in 2021-2022.

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.
