Constellation Schools: Westside Community School of the Arts

Summary:

Constellation Schools: Westside Community School of the Arts is a public charter elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 8th grade. With a diverse student population, the school has faced significant challenges in academic performance and chronic absenteeism in recent years.

Academically, Constellation Schools: Westside Community School of the Arts has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have also been alarmingly high, ranging from 14.0% to 69.2% over the past five school years, which likely contributes to its poor academic outcomes. In comparison, the nearby Village Preparatory School Willard appears to have slightly better academic performance and a lower student-teacher ratio.

Despite these challenges, Constellation Schools: Westside Community School of the Arts stands out for its diverse student population, with significant representation of African American and Hispanic students. This diversity contrasts with the nearby Village Preparatory School Willard, which has a predominantly African American student body. To address the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism, the leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and learn from the practices of neighboring schools serving similar populations.

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.
