Klepinger Community School

Summary:

Klepinger Community School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Dayton, Ohio, with a predominantly African American student population. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Klepinger Community School faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.2% to 71.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Westwood Elementary. The school's students also perform poorly on state assessments, with only 5.3% of 5th graders and 5.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in science, compared to the state averages of 64% and 62.1%, respectively. Math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are also significantly lower than state and Dayton City district averages across all grade levels.

Klepinger Community School's challenges are further exacerbated by a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 33.4 to 59.6 in recent years, much higher than the ratios of nearby schools like Deca Prep, which had 50% of 5th graders proficient or better in science and 52% proficient or better in math. While Klepinger's African American students perform better than the overall student population, they still lag behind their peers at nearby schools, suggesting that addressing the school's issues will require a comprehensive approach, including increased funding, targeted interventions, and a focus on improving attendance and engagement.

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.
