Summary:
The Trotwood-Madison City school district in Ohio has only one middle school, Trotwood-Madison Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has an enrollment of 608 students. While this school is the sole middle school option for the district, its performance lags significantly behind state averages across key academic metrics.
Trotwood-Madison Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Ohio middle schools over the past 3 years, with a ranking of 945 out of 1,048 in the most recent year. The school's student population is predominantly African American (83.55%), and it faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of over 50% and low proficiency rates in subjects like science (20.4% proficient), math (6.3%-10.8% proficient), and English language arts (18.9%-29.1% proficient). However, the school does have a relatively high Algebra I proficiency rate of 72.7%, suggesting some academic strengths among a subset of its students.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Trotwood-Madison Middle School's performance and the challenges it faces in serving its student population. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes should be top priorities for the school and district. With only one middle school option in the area, the Trotwood-Madison City community will need to work closely with the school to ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
