Ely Elementary School

Summary:

Ely Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elyria, Ohio, serving 453 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the Elyria City Schools district, which is ranked 611 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ely Elementary School has a diverse student population, with 47.46% White, 15.01% African American, 16.78% Hispanic, and 20.75% 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 2023-2024, only 36% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 62.1%. The school's rankings for specific student groups, such as African American and Special Education students, are also lower than the state averages.

Another area of concern is Ely Elementary School's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.5% in 2020-2021 to 31.6% in 2021-2022. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools, such as Northwood Elementary (17.6% in 2023-2024) and Eastern Heights Elementary (22.6% in 2023-2024). Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an important focus for the school and district to improve student learning and academic outcomes.

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.
