College Hill Fundamental Academy

Summary:

College Hill Fundamental Academy is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 409 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, College Hill Fundamental Academy faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests lagging behind both the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.6% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 38.4% for the district and 64% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for students with special needs and from low-income backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Mt. Airy School, Winton Hills Academy, and Pleasant Hill Academy, while also struggling academically, generally perform better than College Hill Fundamental Academy on state tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources, but rather deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed through a comprehensive, data-driven approach.

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.
