Mary Church Terrell

Summary:

Mary Church Terrell is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 201 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.

Academically, Mary Church Terrell's performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 20% to 60%, compared to the state average of 46.3% to 67.2%. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 11.4% to 47.9% over the past few years. However, the performance of African American students at Mary Church Terrell is relatively stronger compared to the overall student population, while the performance of White students and students with low socioeconomic status is significantly lower.

Interestingly, the nearby Village Preparatory School Willard, a public charter school, has a significantly different student demographic, with a higher percentage of African American students and a lower percentage of White students. While Village Preparatory School Willard's academic performance is not significantly better than Mary Church Terrell's, the differences in student population and resource allocation between the two schools are noteworthy. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions for underperforming student subgroups could be important steps in improving Mary Church Terrell's overall performance and outcomes.

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.
