Summary:

Chillicothe Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Chillicothe, Ohio, with a student population of 395. The school is part of the Chillicothe City School District, which is ranked 571 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Chillicothe Middle School's performance is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math for 7th and 8th grades were 36% and 18%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 49% and 46.3%. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.8% in 2019-2020 to 64.7% in 2021-2022, which is well above the state average. However, the school's performance in Algebra I has consistently exceeded both the district and state averages, indicating that it is effectively preparing a subset of its students for advanced mathematics.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Zane Trace Middle School and Southeastern Middle School, Chillicothe Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Chillicothe Middle School to learn from its higher-performing peers and implement strategies to improve its overall academic performance.

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.
