Middle School Right Fit

Summary:

Middle School Right Fit is a small public middle school located in Rochester, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of only 26 students. The school is part of the Rochester Public School District, which is ranked 205 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Middle School Right Fit has consistently poor academic performance, with 0% of students proficient or better in Math and only 8.33% proficient or better in Reading on the MCA-III assessments. This is significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 75% to 80.77% over the past three school years, much higher than nearby schools like Plainview-Elgin-Millville 4-6 and Plainview-Elgin-Millville Junior. The racial composition of the student body has also fluctuated significantly, with the percentage of White students ranging from 40% to 43.75%, and the percentage of African American students ranging from 18.75% to 40%.

Despite its small size, Middle School Right Fit has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.5 to 22 over the past three years, significantly lower than other middle schools in the Rochester Public School District like John Adams Middle and Willow Creek Middle. However, the school's consistently poor academic performance and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest that the small size may not be enough to overcome the challenges facing the school and its students.

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.
