LaBrae Middle School

Summary:

LaBrae Middle School is a public middle school located in Leavittsburg, Ohio, serving 249 students in grades 6-8 as part of the LaBrae Local District, which is ranked 413 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While LaBrae Middle School has historically performed well, its statewide ranking has steadily declined from 276th in 2017-2018 to 580th in 2023-2024, indicating a potential need for improvement. The school outperforms the state average in several subject areas, particularly in 8th grade Science (73.4% proficient vs. 62.1% state) and Algebra I (95.2% proficient vs. 55.9% state). Additionally, LaBrae Middle School ranks highly for its gifted and talented student population, ranking 52nd out of 196 Ohio middle schools in 2023-2024. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining its performance across all student subgroups and addressing the rising chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 6.1% in 2019-2020 to 32.1% in 2023-2024, higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Jackson-Milton Middle School and Champion Middle School, LaBrae Middle School generally performs better in test scores, particularly in Science and Algebra I. However, it lags behind these schools in overall statewide rankings and student performance. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and maintaining consistent performance across all student subgroups could help LaBrae Middle School improve its overall standing and better serve 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.
