Scranton School

Summary:

Scranton School is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 431 students in grades PK-8. As part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 692 out of 839 districts in Ohio, Scranton School has consistently been in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scranton School faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 26.5% to 61.9%), consistently low academic performance (with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts ranging from 16.3% to 50%, compared to state averages of 46.3% to 70.6%), and disparities in student outcomes, with White and Special Education students performing significantly worse than their peers. While the school's spending per student ($10,656) is higher than the nearby Near West Intergenerational School ($7,019), its academic performance remains well below the state average.

Despite these challenges, the higher spending per student at Scranton School suggests that there may be opportunities to invest in targeted interventions and support services to improve student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of high chronic absenteeism, providing more equitable educational opportunities, and leveraging community resources could be crucial steps in helping Scranton School improve its performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
