Oxford Middle School

Summary:

Oxford Middle School is a public middle school serving 963 students in grades 6-8 in Oxford, Michigan, which is part of the Oxford Community Schools district. The school consistently ranks in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools and outperforms the state and district averages on academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

While Oxford Middle School performs well for its Hispanic and multi-racial student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% and top 50% of Michigan middle schools, respectively, the school struggles to support its special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 50% of Michigan middle schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.2% in 2018-2019 to 30.4% in 2022-2023, which may impact academic achievement if not addressed.

Compared to nearby schools, Almont Middle School, Waldon Middle School, and Scripps Middle School, Oxford Middle School generally outperforms them on state assessments and overall school rankings. However, schools like Sashabaw Middle School and Oakview Middle School, which are part of the top-performing Lake Orion Community Schools district, have higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Oxford Middle School.

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.
