Alton Hall Elementary School

Summary:

Alton Hall Elementary School is a public elementary school in Galloway, Ohio, serving 512 students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the South-Western City School District. While the school has a diverse student population, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past several years.

Alton Hall Elementary's academic performance lags behind nearby schools like Darby Woods Elementary and West Franklin Elementary, which tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings. The school's struggles are likely exacerbated by its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Alton Hall Elementary has seen significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with Hispanic and Special Education students ranking particularly low.

To address these challenges, Alton Hall Elementary will need to focus on targeted interventions and support for its diverse student population, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Improving academic performance, reducing chronic absenteeism, and addressing subgroup disparities will be crucial for the school to better serve its community and provide a high-quality education 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.
