L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted

Summary:

L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with a diverse student population. However, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key challenges facing L. Hollingworth is its high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 46.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like East Broadway Elementary School and Kenmore Preparatory Academy dba Toledo Preparatory Academy. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is also well below state and local averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 15.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%.

Additionally, L. Hollingworth's student group performance is concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for Hispanic and White student subgroups. The school's lower spending per student, at $7,320 in 2018-2019, compared to the nearby schools' range of $9,359 to $11,493 per student, may also be a contributing factor to its struggles. Addressing these systemic challenges, including attendance issues, low test scores, equity concerns, and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at L. Hollingworth School for Talented and Gifted.

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.
