What stands out at Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School enrolls fewer students than most Ohio schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
No single support indicator dominates
Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School's available federal support indicators do not reveal an extreme in advanced-course access, specialist staffing, chronic absence, or IDEA enrollment. The most responsible reading is therefore component by component rather than a sweeping verdict: current counseling availability, health support, program schedules, and attendance policy still warrant direct confirmation. Missing or middle-range federal fields are not evidence that services are either strong or weak.
Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School is a small charter middle school in Columbus, Ohio, enrolling 165 students.
Class loads run heavy: 23.6:1 is larger than about 90% of Ohio schools and 30% above the 18.2:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Enrollment of 165 puts it in the smaller third of Ohio schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 3,574 scored Ohio schools.
Its student body is led by African American (79%) and Hispanic or Latino (21%) (diversity index 33/100).
Attendance runs somewhat below the norm, with 23.6% of students chronically absent per the 2021-22 civil-rights collection.
Its district draws 24.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Discipline events run high: 42 in- and out-of-school suspensions were reported for 165 students in the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
The federal civil-rights collection also records 1 expulsion at this campus for 2021-22.
Among Columbus's middle schools, it stands alongside Woodward Park Middle School (836 students): Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (23.6:1 vs 16.1:1).
Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School is a single-school charter district, so Midnimo Cross Cultural Community School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
