Summary:

Bucyrus Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Bucyrus, Ohio, with a student population of 272. The school is part of the Bucyrus City School District, which is ranked 570 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bucyrus Middle School consistently underperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 31% in 8th grade Science, 35.6% in 6th grade Math, and 45.7% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 62.1%, 50.1%, and 49.4% respectively. The school also struggles to support its subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools for female, male, white, special education, and low socioeconomic status students. Bucyrus Middle School's ranking for disabled students is particularly low, placing in the bottom 5% of Ohio middle schools.

Despite the school's overall academic struggles, Bucyrus Middle School's gifted and talented students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 20% of Ohio middle schools in this subgroup. Additionally, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggesting the school may be doing a better job supporting students in this subject. However, the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.4% to 42.6% over the past four school years, are significantly higher than the state average. Bucyrus Middle School's academic performance also lags behind many of the surrounding middle schools, such as Seneca East Middle School, Ontario Middle School, and Buckeye Central Middle School, which all outperform Bucyrus on state assessments and have higher overall SchoolDigger rankings.

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.
