Lander Elementary

Summary:

Lander Elementary is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population of around 500 students, the school is part of the Mayfield City School District, which is ranked 112 out of 839 school districts in Ohio.

Academically, Lander Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school has outperformed the state in certain subjects, such as 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics and 3rd grade English Language Arts, its overall performance has been lower than the district's other elementary schools, like Gates Mills Elementary and Millridge Elementary. However, Lander Elementary has shown particular strengths in supporting its African American and special education student populations, ranking among the top schools in the state for these subgroups.

One area of concern for Lander Elementary is its significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.4% in 2020-2021 to 25.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the district's other elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to its peers. By addressing these challenges and building on its strengths, Lander Elementary can work to improve the educational outcomes for all its students.

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.
