Schleswig Middle School

Summary:

Schleswig Middle School is a small public middle school in Schleswig, Iowa, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of just 54 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, has been mixed compared to the state averages, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average and others below. Schleswig Middle School's ranking and rating among Iowa middle schools have also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 111 out of 337 schools to 262 out of 337 schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Denison Middle School and Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove Middle School, Schleswig Middle School's academic performance and overall ranking and rating are generally lower. The school's higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 44% in 2022-2023, suggests a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic outcomes.

Despite Schleswig Middle School's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has not consistently outpaced the other schools. This suggests the school may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and explore ways to optimize the use of available funds to drive better academic outcomes for its students. The school's small size and fluctuating test scores may also be factors that contribute to its challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and competitiveness with other middle schools in the region.

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.
