Summary:

Gateway Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Conneaut Area City School District in Conneaut, Ohio. The school has a student population of 355 and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Gateway Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (27.2%) that are significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Austinburg Elementary (16.1%) and Kingsville Elementary (24.8%). The school's test scores are also generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, where only 54.4% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 62.1%. Additionally, Gateway Elementary has a high percentage of students (63.94%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools.

Interestingly, Gateway Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school ranks relatively well for multi-racial students and disabled students, it struggles with White students and special education students. Nearby schools like Austinburg Elementary and Kingsville Elementary, which are in different districts, generally outperform Gateway Elementary across a range of metrics, suggesting that factors beyond just the school's immediate community may be contributing to its performance. Overall, addressing the challenges faced by Gateway Elementary will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes of its students.

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.
