Montevideo Middle

Summary:

Montevideo Middle is a public middle school in Montevideo, Minnesota, serving 432 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Montevideo Public School District, which is ranked 174 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montevideo Middle stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 68.75% White, 24.54% Hispanic, and a small percentage of other racial groups. This diversity is higher than the nearby Lac Qui Parle Valley Middle School, which has a student population that is 69.6% White. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, with some grade levels and subject areas, such as 5th-grade Math, performing better than the state average, while others, like English Language Learners and Special Education students, have struggled. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.79% to 57.87%, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be influencing its academic outcomes.

Montevideo Middle's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking and star rating varying from year to year. This indicates that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. However, the school's strengths in specific grade levels and subjects suggest that it has opportunities to learn from its successful practices and apply them more broadly. By addressing equity concerns, particularly for underperforming student subgroups, and considering the potential influence of socioeconomic factors, Montevideo Middle may be able to improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
