Kemp Elementary has a diverse student population, with 35.56% White, 37.78% African American, 16.67% Hispanic, and 9.26% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to 21% for the Dayton City district and 64% for the state. Kemp Elementary has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 50.1% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years.

When comparing Kemp Elementary to nearby schools, such as Eastmont Elementary and Parkwood Elementary, it becomes evident that Kemp is underperforming academically. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Kemp's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 54.3%, compared to 76.9% at Eastmont and 82.9% at Parkwood. Addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism and re-evaluating the school's resource allocation could be key focus areas for improving educational outcomes at Kemp Elementary.

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.
