When compared to nearby schools, Fredericktown Middle School and Ontario Middle School have consistently outperformed Lucas Heritage Middle School in state test proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school's relatively lower spending per student of $7,052 in the 2018-2019 school year, compared to some nearby schools, may warrant further investigation to ensure adequate resources are available to support student learning. Overall, Lucas Heritage Middle School appears to be a solid performer, with particular strengths in supporting certain student subgroups, but could benefit from addressing attendance challenges and learning from the instructional practices of higher-performing neighboring schools.
