Summary:

Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 481 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School outperforms the district average in several academic areas, including 5th grade science, 4th grade math, and 5th grade English Language Arts. However, the school still lags behind the state averages in most subject areas. Additionally, Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33% to 50% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 14.5% to 52.1%. The school performs relatively well for its African American and English Language Learner student populations, but struggles with its performance for other student groups, such as disabled students and gifted and talented students.

While Olde Orchard Alt Elementary School outperforms the district average in some areas, it still lags behind nearby schools in Reynoldsburg City and Whitehall City, which have higher overall academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support for the school's diverse student populations could be key areas of focus for improvement.

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.
