East Franklin Elementary School

Summary:

East Franklin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 242 students in grades PK-4 in the South-Western City School District in Columbus, Ohio.

The data reveals that East Franklin Elementary faces significant challenges compared to both district and state averages. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.1% to a concerning 63.5%, which is much higher than the norm. Academically, East Franklin's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are lower than the district and state in both Mathematics and English Language Arts for grades 3 and 4. For example, the school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 41% in 2023-2024, compared to 48.5% for the district and 62.1% for the state. Additionally, East Franklin has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

When comparing East Franklin Elementary to other nearby schools in the South-Western City School District, such as Finland Elementary and James A. Harmon Elementary, the data reveals that East Franklin consistently underperforms its peers on key metrics like academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by East Franklin Elementary may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader district. The school's high percentage of students from low socio-economic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, and addressing areas like chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions could be potential paths to improvement.

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.
