Harvey Rice Elementary School

Summary:

Harvey Rice Elementary School is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 438 students in grades PK-9, with a predominantly African American student body. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a highly homogeneous student population.

Harvey Rice Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 58.4% to 87.8% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the Cleveland Municipal district average and the state of Ohio. This appears to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, with proficiency rates on state tests well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 7.1% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 32% for the Cleveland Municipal district and 62.1% for the state of Ohio.

While Harvey Rice Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, comparable to the nearby Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. The school also has a higher per-student spending of $13,094 in the 2018-2019 school year, compared to $8,597 for the Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles, such as chronic absenteeism, could be a crucial step in improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Harvey Rice Elementary School.

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.
