Niles Intermediate School

Summary:

Niles Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Niles, Ohio, with a student population of 446. The school is part of the Niles City School District, which is ranked 471 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Niles Intermediate School has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates were above the state average in 5th grade Science, 4th grade Math, and 5th grade ELA, they were below the state average in 3rd grade Math and 3rd grade ELA. The school has performed strongly for its African American and low socioeconomic status student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% and top 17% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively. However, there are notable disparities in performance for the school's White students, who have ranked in the bottom 40% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years.

One concerning trend at Niles Intermediate School is a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.2% in 2019-2020 to 31.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, Niles Intermediate outperforms the lower-ranked Niles Primary School but lags behind the higher-performing Seaborn Elementary School in academic proficiency. The school's performance for its special education and gifted/talented student subgroups has been inconsistent, suggesting the need for a closer examination of the support and programming for these student populations.

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.
