Cedar Hall Community School

Summary:

Cedar Hall Community School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Evansville, Indiana, part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district. With a student population of 509, the school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Cedar Hall's academic performance lags behind the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall proficiency rate in English Language Arts was 23.15%, compared to the district's 37.25% and the state's 38.6-42.6%. In math, Cedar Hall's overall proficiency was 18.01%, compared to the district's 37.06% and the state's 31.4-52.4%. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Highland Elementary and Stringtown Elementary, Cedar Hall stands out as one of the lower-performing schools.

The high free/reduced lunch rate at Cedar Hall, ranging from 77.13% to 92.93% over the past 3 years, suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, a common trend observed in many schools serving disadvantaged communities. Despite spending more per student and having a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district average, Cedar Hall's academic performance continues to lag, indicating that simply increasing funding and staffing may not be the sole solution. Addressing the underlying challenges, such as access to resources, student support services, and effective teaching practices, will likely require a more comprehensive approach to truly support the needs of the school's students and community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
