Leap Academy at North Fairmount

Summary:

Leap Academy at North Fairmount is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 420 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Leap Academy faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools with a 1-star rating. The school's proficiency rates on state tests are significantly lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Leap Academy has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 49.1% over the past few years, much higher than nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 17, which is lower than some of the surrounding schools.

While Leap Academy's performance is generally lower than the surrounding schools, there are some notable exceptions. For example, Leap Academy outperforms the nearby Ethel M. Taylor Academy in several subject areas and grade levels, despite having similar demographic characteristics. Additionally, Leap Academy's African American and Hispanic students perform better relative to their peers at the state level compared to the school's overall ranking, suggesting the school may be providing more targeted support for these subgroups.

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.
