Milkovich Middle School

Summary:

Milkovich Middle School is a public middle school in Maple Heights, Ohio, serving 733 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Maple Heights City School District, which is ranked 671 out of 839 districts in the state.

Milkovich Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 20-25% of Ohio middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14% of 8th-grade students were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 46.3%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.4% to 52.3% in recent years, much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Orchard Middle School in Solon (ranked 4th in Ohio) and Beachwood Middle School (ranked 58th in Ohio), Milkovich Middle School's academic performance lags significantly. These nearby schools have much higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve more diverse student populations. While Milkovich Middle School's per-student spending is higher than some nearby lower-performing schools, the resources may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.
