Lutz Elementary School

Summary:

Lutz Elementary School is a public elementary school in Fremont, Ohio, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fremont City School District, which is ranked 474 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lutz Elementary generally performs better than the Fremont City School District average on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, 69% of 3rd graders at Lutz were proficient or better in Math, compared to 64.4% for the district. The school also stands out in its performance for Hispanic students, who rank in the top 50 out of 234 Ohio elementary schools. However, Lutz struggles with other subgroups, such as disabled students and gifted and talented students, who rank in the bottom 20% and bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively.

While Lutz Elementary outperforms the other Fremont City elementary schools, James J. Hilfiker Elementary and Lakota Elementary in nearby districts demonstrate stronger overall academic performance. Additionally, Lutz Elementary's per-student spending of $9,283 in 2018-2019 was lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's challenges in maintaining high achievement across all student subgroups. The school has also experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 34.2% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average.

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.
