Tiffin Middle School

Summary:

Tiffin Middle School is a public middle school serving around 540 students in grades 6-8 in Tiffin, Ohio, which is part of the Tiffin City Schools district. The school generally performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with higher proficiency rates than the state in subjects like 8th grade Science, 7th grade English Language Arts, and Algebra I. However, Tiffin Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a 4-star rating in 2013-2014 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023, placing it in the middle range compared to other Ohio middle schools.

Tiffin Middle School's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking relatively high for Hispanic students and Gifted and Talented students, but lower for Special Education and Disabled students. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.8% in 2019-2020 to 20.7% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern. Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Upper Sandusky Middle School, Fremont Middle School, and McPherson Middle School, Tiffin Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below these schools, which tend to have higher rankings and ratings, as well as stronger academic performance in certain subjects.

Tiffin Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and ranking. Additionally, the school's per-student spending is lower than the nearby schools, which may impact the resources available to support student learning. While Tiffin Middle School has a solid academic foundation, it faces some challenges that may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to improve overall outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
