Stevan Dohanos Elementary School

Summary:

Stevan Dohanos Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lorain, Ohio, serving 293 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Lorain City School District, which is ranked 738 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stevan Dohanos Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 1467 out of 1577 schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 65% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Hawthorne Elementary School. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Lorain City School District and the surrounding area, Stevan Dohanos Elementary School consistently underperforms. For example, Hawthorne Elementary School, which is just 1.68 miles away, has higher proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school's spending per student ($10,998 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 14.3 in 2020-2021 to 18.3 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school.

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.
