Fassett Junior High School

Summary:

Fassett Junior High School is a public middle school located in Oregon, Ohio, serving grades 7-8 with a student population of 519. The school is part of the Oregon City School District, which is ranked 307 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fassett Junior High School has shown mixed academic performance in recent years. While the school had strong proficiency rates in 8th grade science (66.3%), 7th grade English language arts (69.6%), and Algebra I (98.5%), it struggled in 8th grade math (48%) and 8th grade English language arts (52%). The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.2% in 2019-2020 to 23.1% in the 2023-2024 school year. Fassett Junior High School's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Oregon City School District average, but it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Sylvania Arbor Hills Junior High School and Perrysburg Junior High School.

Fassett Junior High School's spending per student of $7,641 in 2018-2019 is lower than the state average, which may be a factor in the school's performance. Additionally, the school's performance on state tests varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively well for Hispanic students (101st out of 239 Ohio middle schools in 2023-2024) but struggling with special education students (378th out of 563 Ohio middle schools in 2023-2024). Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and learning from the successes of higher-performing nearby schools could help Fassett Junior High School improve its 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.
