Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence

Summary:

Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence is a public charter elementary school serving 110 students in grades K-8 in Toledo, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 1528 out of 1577 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. It has received 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance.

The school's performance is concerning across several key metrics. It has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.2% to 34.2% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are extremely low, with only 13% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 64.5%. The school's performance for African American students and low socioeconomic status students is particularly concerning, ranking 586 out of 603 Ohio elementary schools for African American students and 1448 out of 1484 for low-income students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Arlington Elementary, Old Orchard Elementary, and Walbridge Elementary, while also performing poorly compared to the state, significantly outperform Ann Jerkins-Harris Academy of Excellence on most metrics. The data suggests that the challenges at this school go beyond just funding or student demographics, and a deeper analysis of the school's instructional practices, leadership, and support systems may be necessary to identify the root causes of the low performance and develop a comprehensive plan for improvement.

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.
