Mary B Martin School

Summary:

Mary B Martin School is an alternative public school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 202 students in grades PK-10. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with over 93% of students identifying as such. It 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.

Mary B Martin School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 65.8% to 72.9%, which are much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than the Cleveland Municipal district and the state of Ohio, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 0% to 30% across different grade levels. In comparison, the nearby Northeast Ohio College Preparatory School has a higher student-teacher ratio and appears to have better academic outcomes.

Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and the large performance gaps between Mary B Martin School and the surrounding district and state will be crucial in improving student outcomes. Collaboration with the local community, targeted interventions, and a focus on evidence-based practices could be important steps in driving meaningful improvements at Mary B Martin 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.
