Summary

Constellation Schools: Lorain Community Middle is a public charter middle school serving grades 5-8 in Lorain, Ohio, with just 106 students. Unfortunately, this small school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance.

The school's key metrics raise significant concerns. It has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.1% to 57.5% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby public middle schools like Northwood Middle School, Amherst Junior High School, and Brookside Middle School. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are significantly below state and local averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with just 9.1% of 5th graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 56.7%.

The school's struggles extend to its ability to effectively serve student subgroups, with the school's rankings for female, male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom quarter of Ohio middle schools. While the reasons for the school's poor performance are not entirely clear, the data suggests significant challenges in the school's learning environment, instructional practices, or student support systems. Families in the Lorain area may want to consider other public middle school options that can better meet the academic and social-emotional needs of their children.
