Summary:
The Cardinal Local school district in Ohio has only one middle school, Cardinal Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has a predominantly white student population and generally performs on par with or slightly below district and state averages on Ohio state tests, with some exceptions. While the school's Algebra I proficiency rate is significantly higher than the district and state, its 7th grade math and 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates are lower.
Cardinal Middle School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4%, which is relatively high, and over a third of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 is in line with state standards. Overall, Cardinal Middle School appears to be a typical middle school, with some areas of strength and potential areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and improving proficiency in certain grade levels.
With only one middle school in the Cardinal Local district, there are no clear "standout" schools to compare. However, the data suggests that Cardinal Middle School could benefit from further analysis and comparison to similar schools or districts to identify best practices and opportunities for growth.
