Easton Middle

Summary:

Easton Middle is a public middle school in Easton, Maryland, serving 737 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Talbot County Public Schools district, which is ranked 14 out of 25 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Easton Middle faces significant academic challenges, with its students performing below state and district averages on the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) tests in both mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA). For example, only 10.7% of Easton Middle students were proficient or better in MCAP Mathematics, compared to 18.3% for the Talbot County Public Schools district and 24.1% for the state of Maryland. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Maryland middle schools in both Mathematics and ELA. As a result, Easton Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Centreville Middle School and Matapeake Middle School in the Queen Anne's County Public Schools district, the performance gap becomes even more pronounced. However, Easton Middle does have one bright spot, with 40.5% of its students proficient or better on the MCAP Algebra I end-of-course assessment, outperforming the Talbot County Public Schools district and the state average.

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.
