Summary:

STEAMM Academy is a public middle school located in Canton, Ohio, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 546 students. The school is part of the Canton City School District, which is ranked 637 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

STEAMM Academy faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 35.9% to 53.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 19.8% to 31.7%, compared to the state average of 46.3% to 67.2%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 18.3% to 58.9%, compared to the state average of 49.4% to 70.6%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Canton City School District, such as McGregor Intermediate School, Clarendon Intermediate School, and Crenshaw Middle School, also have relatively low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, similar to STEAMM Academy. However, the nearby schools in the Plain Local and Perry Local districts, such as Oakwood Middle School and Edison Middle School, have significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that district-level factors may play a role in student outcomes.

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.
