Amity Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of Ohio elementary schools, with students scoring above the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 85.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 62.1%. However, the school's special education and disabled student subgroups have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. Additionally, Amity Elementary School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2019-2020 to 24.0% in 2022-2023, which may impact the school's overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Amity Elementary School's performance is generally stronger than T.C.P. World Academy, a public charter school, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Sycamore Community City District, such as Maple Dale Elementary and Montgomery Elementary. Amity Elementary School also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 38.87% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the school's challenges.

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.
