London Elementary School

Summary:

London Elementary School is a public elementary school located in London, Ohio, serving 916 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the London City School District, which is ranked 466 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While London Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.41%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 30.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools like Alton Darby Elementary, Brown Elementary, and Norwood Elementary. Additionally, London Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state average and the scores of nearby schools, particularly in mathematics, with only 38.7% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 62.1%.

The school's performance has been declining over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 565 out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 892 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests the need for the school and the London City School District to identify and address the factors contributing to the school's relatively weaker performance, such as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (46.07% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and the significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups.

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.
