James Conger Elementary School

Summary:

James Conger Elementary School is a public elementary school in Delaware, Ohio, serving 432 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Delaware City School District, which is ranked 336 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While James Conger Elementary School has a strong program for gifted and talented students, ranking 13 out of 128 Ohio elementary schools in this category, the school's overall academic performance is relatively low. Its proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts are several percentage points below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1%, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools in the district, such as Robert F. Schultz Elementary School and Ervin Carlisle Elementary School, which have higher academic proficiency and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

Over the past several years, James Conger Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined, from being ranked 754 out of 1,687 Ohio elementary schools in 2013-2014 to being ranked 1,000 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This concerning trend suggests the school may need to address its academic challenges, particularly for specific student groups like white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who perform poorly compared to their peers across the state.

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.
