Mt. Washington School

Summary:

Mt. Washington School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 311 students in grades PK-7 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Hyde Park School, Kilgour School, and schools in the Forest Hills Local district, Mt. Washington School faces significant challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts well below state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 47.1%, which is significantly higher than nearby schools.

Within Mt. Washington School, the performance of African American students and students with disabilities is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance, suggesting the school may be providing additional support and resources for these subgroups. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, indicating a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve educational outcomes for all students and address the high chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
