Northgate Intermediate outperforms the Columbus City Schools District in most academic areas, with higher proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests for 4th and 5th-grade students in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. However, the school's performance is still below the state average in these areas. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 62.4% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and surrounding schools. Northgate Intermediate performs well for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools for these groups, but struggles with its White and Gifted and Talented student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25%.

Compared to nearby schools, Northgate Intermediate's performance is generally better than Forest Park Elementary School, which is also part of the Columbus City Schools District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Westerville City School District, such as Worthington Park Elementary and Hanby Building Elementary. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and focusing on the specific needs of its diverse student subgroups could help Northgate Intermediate improve its overall performance and better serve the students and families in the community.

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.
