Rise & Shine Academy

Summary:

Rise & Shine Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 139 students in grades K-6 in Toledo, Ohio. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years, with very low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Rise & Shine Academy students perform well below state averages on Ohio state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 62.1%, and the school had 0% proficiency in 6th grade math. The school's chronic absenteeism rates range from 42.4% to 54.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Despite being located within a mile of several higher-performing Toledo public elementary schools, Rise & Shine Academy lags far behind them in academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Rise & Shine Academy has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 23.1, and its spending per student of $6,977 in 2018-2019 was lower than the nearby public schools, which range from $8,938 to $12,543 per student. The other public charter school in the area, Madison Avenue School of Arts, performs only slightly better than Rise & Shine Academy on state assessments and has similarly low rankings. Addressing the root causes of these challenges, such as instructional quality, school climate, and family engagement, will be critical to improving outcomes for students at Rise & Shine Academy.

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.
