Anton Grdina

Summary:

Anton Grdina is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 339 students in grades PK-9. As part of the Cleveland Municipal School District, which is ranked 692 out of 839 districts in Ohio, Anton Grdina faces significant challenges in academic performance and attendance compared to nearby schools.

Anton Grdina has a much higher percentage of African American students (91.45%) compared to the Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School (77.91%), and experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.9% to 74.3% in recent years. Academically, Anton Grdina's proficiency rates on state tests are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 3.8% of 3rd-grade students proficient in Mathematics, compared to 32% in the district and 62.1% statewide.

Despite spending more per student ($12,706) than the nearby Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School ($8,597), Anton Grdina's academic performance remains significantly lower, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources. These persistent challenges suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of Anton Grdina's student population and community, which may include strategies to improve attendance, provide additional academic support, and address any underlying socioeconomic factors impacting student learning.

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.
