George Hays-Jennie Porter School

Summary:

George Hays-Jennie Porter School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 288 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's African American students perform relatively well compared to their peers at other schools, the overall academic performance of George Hays-Jennie Porter School is concerning. The school consistently underperforms the district and state in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, with only 26.5% of 5th graders proficient in science compared to 38.4% for the district and 64% for the state. Additionally, the school has experienced extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 61.9% to 82.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. As a result, George Hays-Jennie Porter School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, placing it in the bottom 35% of the state.

While the nearby schools, such as Frederick Douglass School, Rockdale Academy, and Fairview-Clifton German Language School, also serve similar demographics and are part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, they generally outperform George Hays-Jennie Porter School in academic proficiency and school rankings. This suggests that factors specific to the school, beyond just district-level challenges, may be contributing to its underperformance.

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.
