Dater Montessori School

Summary:

Dater Montessori School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Cincinnati, Ohio, part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district. With a diverse student population, the school generally outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly among its African American students.

Dater Montessori School's academic performance stands out, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 3rd grade Math, 5th grade Science, and 5th grade English Language Arts. The school also effectively serves its population of low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top third of Ohio elementary schools in this subgroup. However, the school faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and serving its special education and English Language Learner students, areas where it lags behind other schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Dater Montessori generally outperforms schools like Carson School, Cheviot School, and Leap Academy at North Fairmount, but falls behind the performance of Oakdale Elementary School, which is in the Oak Hills Local district.

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.

Open Quote I am an involved grandparent. Dater has been and excellent school for my grandson for six years.... and he is looking forward to going on to Clark next year. Close Quote

Open Quote Dater provides a fantastic education. The teachers create lesson plans for each individual student and are very aware of each child's abilities and challenges. The teachers all have Masters degrees in Montessori education as well as strong teaching experience. Each classroom has a teacher and full-time instructional assistant and often a student teacher, bringing the student:teacher ratio to 8:1 for much of my son's kindergarden year. The supportive and active spirit extends beyond the classroom, though, as the parents are very active volunteers in the school. Close Quote

Open Quote I have had three children go through the school. Though administration has changed frequently the present principal is great! I now have only one child there but the staff is great and the standards are good as well. Close Quote

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.
