Clinton Elementary School

Summary:

Clinton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving around 460 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which is ranked 679 out of 839 school districts in Ohio.

Clinton Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the district and state averages on Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics and English Language Arts, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students consistently scoring above 80% proficiency. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.3% in 2019-2020 to 20.7% in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Colerain Elementary, Oakland Park Alternative Elementary, and Huy/A.G. Bell Elementary, Clinton Elementary School's academic performance is significantly higher. However, the school's racial and socioeconomic homogeneity, as well as the uneven performance across student subgroups, suggest that the school may need to address issues of equity and access to ensure that all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
