The Richland School of Academic Arts

Summary:

The Richland School of Academic Arts is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Mansfield, Ohio, with a diverse student population of 47.9% White, 33.05% African American, 1.4% Hispanic, and 17.37% two or more races.

The school has faced several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.6% to 40.3%, which are significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, such as 8th grade math and 5th/7th grade ELA, while others, like 5th grade science and 5th/6th grade math, struggle. The school's overall proficiency rates tend to lag behind the state and nearby schools, such as Western Elementary School, Central Elementary School, and Stingel Elementary School.

The school's performance for its African American students is relatively strong, ranking in the top 40% of Ohio elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the performance of White students and students of low socioeconomic status lags behind, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and uneven academic performance should be a priority for the school and its Mansfield City district to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all 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.
