Bluestone Elementary School

Summary:

Bluestone Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Euclid, Ohio, serving 319 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Euclid City School District, which is ranked 650 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bluestone Elementary School has faced significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 75.8% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is substantially higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 17.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the Euclid City School District average of 31.5% and the state average of 64%.

Interestingly, the nearby Chardon Hills Elementary School and Shoreview Elementary School, which are also part of the Euclid City School District, demonstrate significantly better academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Bluestone Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Bluestone Elementary to learn from and implement best practices from its more successful counterparts within the district, potentially addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance.

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.
