Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle

Summary:

Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle is a public middle school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 523. The school is part of the Roanoke City Public Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (around 70%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Virginia middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and lower performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests compared to the district and state averages. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, the school has struggled to improve student outcomes over the past decade.

The academic underperformance and racial disparities at Addison Aerospace Magnet Middle are not unique, as similar patterns are observed in many schools serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged populations. Nearby schools, such as Woodrow Wilson Middle, James Madison Middle, and Breckinridge Middle, have more diverse student populations and generally perform better academically, highlighting the need to understand the factors contributing to these differences.

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.
