Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary School

Summary:

Duxberry Park Alternative Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Columbus City Schools District in Columbus, Ohio, with a student population of 194 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite its small student-teacher ratio, Duxberry Park consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 81.1% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is over 30 percentage points higher than the district average. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with the majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools in the Columbus City Schools District, such as Linden STEM Academy, South Mifflin STEM Academy, and East Linden Elementary, which also struggle academically, Duxberry Park's performance is consistently lower. The charter schools in the area, such as Cesar Chavez College Preparatory School, have mixed performance, with some outperforming the district and state on assessments, while others, like North Columbus Preparatory Academy, are among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

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.
