New London Middle School

Summary:

New London Middle School is a public middle school serving 187 students in grades 6-8 in the small town of New London, Ohio. The school is part of the New London Local District, which is ranked 391 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New London Middle School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that have risen from 6.1% in 2019-2020 to 18.8% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Ashland Middle School (16.4%) and Norwalk Middle School (21.2%). The school's academic performance is mixed, with strong results in 8th grade science and math but struggles in 6th and 7th grade math, where proficiency rates are below the state average. Additionally, the school's subgroup performance varies, with relatively strong results for female and low-income students but weaker performance for male and White students compared to other Ohio middle schools.

New London Middle School's challenges may be exacerbated by its extremely high poverty rate, with nearly 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from a high of 513 out of 1,035 Ohio middle schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 500 out of 1,048 in 2022-2023, suggesting the school is falling behind its peers across the state.

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.
