City Day Community School

Summary:

City Day Community School is a public charter elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 199 students in grades K-8. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with academic proficiency rates well below state and local averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

One of the key challenges facing City Day Community School is its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 37.7% to 74% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Alliance Community Schools Inc. dba Dayton Leadership Academy and Emerson Academy. The school's student-teacher ratio is also very high, ranging from 17.6 to 66.3, which may contribute to the academic struggles.

While City Day Community School faces significant challenges, nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Emerson Academy and Deca Prep, have demonstrated higher academic performance, suggesting that the school's persistent low performance may be due to factors beyond its student population. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and resource constraints, will be crucial to improving outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
