Eastern Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Eastern Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 521 students in grades K-4 in Elyria, Ohio, which is part of the Elyria City Schools district.

Despite being part of the Elyria City Schools district, which is ranked 611 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Eastern Heights Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating. The school's student performance on Ohio state tests is significantly below state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts well below the state averages. Additionally, Eastern Heights has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.2% in 2019-2020 to 22.6% in 2023-2024, which is well above the state average.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Elyria City Schools district and nearby districts, such as Northwood Elementary School and Ely Elementary School, Eastern Heights Elementary School generally performs worse on key metrics like state test proficiency and chronic absenteeism. This trend of declining performance over the past decade suggests the school may be facing significant challenges in effectively educating 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.
