Blair Middle

Summary:

Blair Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Norfolk, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,149 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 20.02% White, 61.88% African American, 9.92% Hispanic, 1.39% Asian, and 6.7% two or more races.

Despite consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Virginia middle schools, Azalea Gardens Middle, Indian River Middle, and Western Branch Middle outperform Blair Middle in several subject areas, including Geometry, Algebra I, Earth Science, and Civics and Economics. However, Blair Middle's White and Hispanic student subgroups perform significantly better than the school's overall performance, ranking in the top half of Virginia middle schools, while the African American, low socioeconomic status, and disabled student subgroups perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quartile.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Blair Middle (over 90%) indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces. Interestingly, the school's increased spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the Norfolk City Public Schools district average suggest that the school is receiving additional resources, which could be an opportunity to implement targeted interventions and support for struggling students. The comparison to nearby schools, such as the high-performing Academy for Discovery at Lakewood, highlights the importance of factors like socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and school model in shaping academic outcomes.

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.
