Covedale School

Summary:

Covedale School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 454 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district. While the school's performance is generally better than some of its immediate peers within the district, it faces several key challenges, including declining statewide rankings, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven academic performance across different student subgroups.

Covedale School's test scores, while higher than the district average, lag behind the state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 5th grade Science, Covedale School scored 32.1% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 64%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students and students with disabilities performing relatively better compared to their peers in the state, while Gifted and Talented students perform significantly worse.

Compared to nearby schools, Covedale School's performance is generally better than other Cincinnati Public Schools in the immediate vicinity, such as Rees E. Price Academy and Leap Academy at North Fairmount. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the neighboring Oak Hills Local school district, such as C.O. Harrison Elementary and Delshire Elementary.

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 This is a great school with great teacher and parent involvement. They have a gardening club to support environmentalism, have extensive recycling and composting programs, and programs to support gifted and accelerated students. I've very happy with this school. 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.
