St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School

Summary:

St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 269 students in grades K-6 in the Cincinnati Public Schools district in Ohio. The school has consistently received a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, and its student population is diverse, with around 40-45% White, 40-42% African American, and the remaining students being Hispanic, two or more races, and a small percentage of Native American students.

One of the key challenges facing St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary is its high and rising chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased from 9.2% in 2019-2020 to 37.6% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of many nearby schools like South Avondale School and Clifton Area Neighborhood School. The school's academic performance on state standardized tests is also mixed, with 3rd-grade math and ELA scores above the state average, but 5th-grade science and 5th/6th-grade math scores lagging significantly behind the state and the overall Cincinnati Public Schools district.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Cincinnati area, St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures but has a lower student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending of $9,629 in 2018-2019, suggesting the school may be facing resource constraints that impact its ability to provide a high-quality education. Addressing the school's attendance and academic challenges, as well as the disparities in performance between different student subgroups, will be crucial for improving outcomes for the diverse student population at St Bernard-Elmwood Place Elementary.

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.
