However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools, with a ranking between 1362 and 1475 out of 1577-1610 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on state assessments is also below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

When comparing West Mound Elementary School to nearby schools, both within and outside the Columbus City Schools District, several interesting findings emerge. Finland Elementary School and James A. Harmon Elementary School, which are part of the South-Western City School District, have higher proficiency rates and rankings compared to West Mound. Additionally, the performance of the Central Point Preparatory Academy, a public charter school located near West Mound, suggests that the charter school model may not be effectively addressing the needs of the student population in this area.

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.
