Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 45240 zip code - Winton Woods Middle School. This school serves a predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population, with over 80% of students being African American or Hispanic and 77% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Unfortunately, Winton Woods Middle School is significantly underperforming compared to state averages on most academic metrics, with proficiency rates that are 20-40 percentage points below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also very high at 41.7%, which is likely contributing to the poor academic performance. Despite the school's spending per student of $8,610 not being unusually low, the data suggests that factors such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership may be more significant drivers of the school's struggles. The one bright spot is the school's performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, where 79.5% of students scored proficient or better, significantly exceeding the state average of 53%.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Winton Woods City Middle School, which appears to be struggling to provide a quality education for its students. Significant improvements are needed across multiple areas, including attendance, academic achievement, and resource allocation, to better serve this community.
