Mt. Healthy South Elementary School

Summary:

Mt. Healthy South Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 651 students in grades 1-6 in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of the Mt Healthy City School District. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mt. Healthy South Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.0% to 47.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Mt. Healthy North Elementary and Struble Elementary. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is consistently below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the school's African American students and students with disabilities performing significantly worse than their peers statewide.

Despite the school's low performance, its per-student spending of $9,142 in 2018-2019 is on par with the nearby schools, suggesting that the challenges faced by Mt. Healthy South Elementary may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources. The school's student-teacher ratio has also improved in recent years, decreasing from 17.8 to 13.8, but this has not yet translated into significant academic gains. To address these issues, the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs, review and align its curriculum and instructional practices, and explore partnerships with community organizations to support the holistic needs of its students and families.

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.
