Kiser Elementary School

Summary:

Kiser Elementary School is a public elementary school in Dayton, Ohio, serving 552 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Dayton City School District, which is ranked 702 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kiser Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts were 25.8% and 32.3% for 4th grade, respectively, compared to the state averages of 67.2% and 64.1%. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 46.6% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Compared to nearby schools, such as Ruskin Elementary School and River's Edge Montessori Elementary School, Kiser Elementary School's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Despite the school's higher spending per student, which was $10,852 in the 2018-2019 school year, the academic outcomes have not improved significantly. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 11.5 to 15.1 over the past few years, suggesting that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students. However, the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the performance gaps between different student subgroups indicate that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.

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.
