Kids Care Elementary

Summary:

Kids Care Elementary is a public charter elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 129 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a predominantly African American (59.69%) and Hispanic (36.43%) student population.

Despite serving a high-needs student population, Kids Care Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.0% to 50.6%, which is much higher than the state average. Academically, Kids Care Elementary's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 0% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 64%. As a result, Kids Care Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools district also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, Kids Care Elementary's challenges appear to be more severe. For instance, North Linden Elementary School and Innis Elementary School generally perform better than Kids Care Elementary, suggesting that the school may require targeted interventions and support to address its unique challenges and improve educational outcomes for its 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.
