Keystone Middle School

Summary:

Keystone Middle School is a public middle school in Lagrange, Ohio, serving 364 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Keystone Local District, which is ranked 245 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Keystone Middle School consistently outperforms the state average and its local district in various subject areas on the Ohio State Tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 82.6% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 62.1%. The school also had 100% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, significantly higher than the state average of 55.9%. Keystone Middle School generally performs well across different student subgroups, though its performance for special education and disabled students has been more inconsistent.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Northwood Middle School, Westwood Middle School, and Eastern Heights Middle School, Keystone Middle School's academic performance is generally stronger. This may be attributed to factors like its higher spending per student ($10,275 in 2018-2019) and lower student-teacher ratio (15.8 in 2022-2023) compared to some of its neighbors. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.2% in 2019-2020 to 25.3% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

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.
