Summary:
The 45345 zip code area has only one middle school, Dixie Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. While the school has some academic strengths, such as above-average performance in Science and Algebra I, it faces challenges related to uneven student achievement, high rates of economic disadvantage, and chronic absenteeism.
New Lebanon Local School District, which oversees Dixie Middle School, has seen the school consistently rank in the middle to lower range of Ohio middle schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in certain subject areas and grade levels, but significant weaknesses in others, particularly in higher-grade Mathematics. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and curriculum improvements to address these disparities.
Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rate at Dixie Middle School indicates that a large portion of the student population faces economic disadvantages, which can present additional challenges for the school in terms of providing necessary resources and support. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.4%, which is a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that Dixie Middle School has the potential to improve its academic outcomes with the right strategies and interventions.
