Oxford Elementary School

Summary:

Oxford Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, serving 264 students in grades PK-5. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating out of 5 for the past several years.

Oxford Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 40.7% in the 2021-2022 school year, and low academic performance, with only 25% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to 47.5% in the district and 64% statewide. The school serves a high-poverty student population, with a large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Oxford Elementary struggles, the nearby Boulevard Elementary and Noble Elementary schools in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City district have more diverse student populations and better academic performance. Additionally, Oxford Elementary spends more per student than some of the nearby schools, suggesting that addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as improving attendance and providing targeted academic interventions, will be crucial for improving outcomes for the students.

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.
