Lakewood Middle School

Summary:

Lakewood Middle School is a public middle school located in Hebron, Ohio, serving 385 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lakewood Local District, which is ranked 381 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood Middle School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.5% in 2019-2020 to 31.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and most nearby schools like Liberty Union Middle School and Watkins Middle School. Academically, the school performs above the state average in several subject areas, particularly in 8th grade Math and Algebra I, but lags behind in 6th grade Math and 8th grade English Language Arts. Additionally, Lakewood Middle School ranks relatively well for special education students, but struggles with their gifted and talented student population, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools.

Lakewood Middle School spends more per student, at $10,779, compared to nearby schools ranging from $6,547 to $10,969 per student. However, this higher spending does not necessarily translate to consistently stronger academic outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's leadership may want to examine how these resources are allocated and utilized to better support student learning and address the areas of concern, such as the spike in chronic absenteeism and the uneven academic performance across different student subgroups.

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.
