Adlai Stevenson School

Summary:

Adlai Stevenson School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Cleveland Municipal school district, with a student population of 419 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and disparities in the achievement of different student subgroups.

Despite having a higher per-student spending than the nearby Citizens Academy Southeast charter school, Adlai Stevenson School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio over the past decade. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 4.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 24% for the Cleveland Municipal district and 64% for the state of Ohio. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has reached as high as 57.2%, more than double the state average.

While the school's African American students perform better relative to other Ohio elementary schools, the significant underperformance of other student subgroups, such as low-socioeconomic status students and students with disabilities, indicates the need for targeted interventions and support. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and improving instructional quality will be crucial for Adlai Stevenson School to overcome its persistent challenges and provide a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
