Summary:
Timothy L. Johnson Academy Middle is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. With an enrollment of 167 students, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking 379th out of 380 middle schools in the state and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's academic performance is a major concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (9.79%), Math (4.2%), and Science (3.85%) falling far below the state averages of 40.5-42.7%, 34.5-39.7%, and 42.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which can further hinder student learning and achievement. Despite the low academic outcomes, the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($16,848) compared to the state average.
The data suggests that the school's high poverty rate, with 83.23% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. The small school size of 167 students could also present both challenges and opportunities in providing targeted support and personalized learning experiences. Addressing the school's low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and efficient use of resources should be the top priorities for the school and district leadership to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Timothy L. Johnson Academy Middle.
