Port Clinton Middle School

Summary:

Port Clinton Middle School is a public middle school serving around 350 students in grades 6-8 in Port Clinton, Ohio, which is part of the Port Clinton City School District. The school generally performs well on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in 7 out of 8 tested subjects/grade levels, including a standout 95.7% proficiency rate in Algebra I, which is significantly higher than the state average of 55.9%.

While Port Clinton Middle School maintains a solid 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the middle to upper-middle range of Ohio middle schools, it faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.2% in 2019-2020 to 23.6% in 2023-2024. This rate is higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools, such as Bellevue Middle School and Fremont Middle School. However, the school performs particularly well with its Hispanic and Special Education student subgroups, ranking in the top 40-150 middle schools in Ohio for these groups.

Interestingly, Port Clinton Middle School has a higher percentage of white students (76.86%) compared to nearby schools, such as Fremont Middle School, which has a more diverse student population. The school also spends $11,016 per student, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools, such as Sandusky Middle School, which spends $7,139 per student. This suggests the school has access to more resources to support student learning.

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.
