Winterfield Venture Academy

Summary:

Winterfield Venture Academy is a public charter elementary school serving around 500 students in grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, struggling with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rates, and low student-teacher ratios compared to state and local averages.

Winterfield Venture Academy significantly underperforms the state and local averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 62.1%, and only 30.8% of 8th graders were proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 49.4%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 55.6% in 2021-2022, which is significantly above the state and local averages. Additionally, Winterfield Venture Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio (around 22:1) compared to the state and local averages.

Winterfield Venture Academy's academic performance lags significantly behind nearby schools like Ottawa Hills Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 5% of Ohio elementary schools and has much higher proficiency rates. The school's per-student spending of $8,702 in 2018-2019 is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's challenges in providing a high-quality education. To address these issues, Winterfield Venture Academy may need to implement targeted academic interventions, develop a robust attendance and engagement strategy, and explore ways to increase per-student funding and reduce the student-teacher ratio.

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.
