Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School

Q: Is Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School a good school?

Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School ranks 602 nd of 864 Ohio high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School is a small public high school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 247 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly African American (58.7%) and Hispanic (20.65%) student population.

Despite its relatively high per-student spending of $13,722, Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects. The school's proficiency rates range from 25.6% in Geometry to 71.1% in American History, while the state averages range from 39.8% in Geometry to 69.1% in American Government. The school's graduation rates have also been fluctuating, ranging from 70.3% to 90.9% in recent years, and its chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly from 20.3% to 70.4%. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than the overall school, but female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly lower.

Interestingly, the nearby Horizon Science Academy Cleveland, a public charter high school with a similar racial makeup, has consistently outperformed Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School on state assessments and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, despite spending significantly less per student ($8,296 in 2018-2019). This suggests that factors beyond just the student demographic, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may play a significant role in academic outcomes. To improve, Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School may need to address its high chronic absenteeism rate, implement more tailored and equitable instructional approaches, and examine the effectiveness of its educational programs and support systems.

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.
