Memorial School

Summary:

Memorial School is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 366 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 692 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a predominantly African American student population of around 95%, Memorial School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and declining statewide rankings.

Memorial School's chronic absenteeism rates have consistently been high, ranging from 48.9% in 2020-2021 to 59.3% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are also significantly lower than state and district averages, with only 9.8% of 3rd-grade students proficient in Mathematics in 2023-2024, compared to 62.1% statewide and 32% in the Cleveland Municipal district. When looking at specific student subgroups, Memorial School's rankings within the state are particularly low for female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, all ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Lakeshore Intergenerational School, a public charter school with a similar student racial makeup, appears to have higher academic performance and lower spending per student than Memorial School, despite the latter's higher spending. This suggests that the educational model or approach at Lakeshore Intergenerational School may be more effective in supporting student achievement. Overall, the data indicates that Memorial School faces significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach.

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.
