Westwood Elementary School

Summary:

Westwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving around 360 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which is ranked 702 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westwood Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 1.8% of 5th-grade students were proficient in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 57.8% in the 2020-2021 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Westwood's student subgroups, such as African American students, male students, and students with disabilities, consistently rank among the lowest-performing in the state, indicating significant achievement gaps.

While Westwood Elementary is part of the Dayton City School District, the nearby schools within the same district, such as Belle Haven Elementary School, River's Edge Montessori Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Louise Troy Elementary School, generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Additionally, some nearby charter schools, such as Deca Prep and Alliance Community Schools, appear to be outperforming Westwood Elementary and the Dayton City School District as a whole.

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.
