Amanda Elementary School

Summary:

Amanda Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Middletown, Ohio, with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Middletown City School District, which is ranked 629 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Amanda Elementary has a diverse student body, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (65.78%), with significant populations of African American (11.23%) and Hispanic (11.5%) students, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years. The school has experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 18.2% in 2019-2020 to 47.2% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's student performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state and district averages.

These challenges have contributed to Amanda Elementary consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively higher for special education and low socioeconomic status students, but very low for African American and White students, indicating significant achievement gaps. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, addressing attendance barriers, and ensuring that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.

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.
