Wildwood Elementary School

Summary:

Wildwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Middletown, Ohio, serving 439 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Wildwood Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally lower than the Middletown City and Ohio state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12% in 2019-2020 to 43.8% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average. Wildwood Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom quarter for Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students, as well as for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby schools in the Middletown City School District also struggle academically, Wildwood Elementary generally performs worse than its counterparts, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's declining statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven performance across student subgroups suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to address these issues and improve educational outcomes for all 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.
