Birmingham Elementary School

Summary:

Birmingham Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Toledo, Ohio, with 299 students. It is part of the Toledo City School District, which is ranked 652 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Birmingham Elementary School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 57.4% to 62.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Toledo City and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Toledo City and Ohio state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 32% for Toledo City and 64% for Ohio. As a result, Birmingham Elementary is ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools, with a ranking between 1352 and 1542 out of 1577 schools over the past several years.

When comparing Birmingham Elementary to other nearby schools in the Toledo City district, such as Raymer Elementary and Riverside Elementary, it performs significantly worse across most metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and overall rankings. However, the school's spending per student ($10,092 in 2018-2019) is similar to the nearby schools, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that the low performance is not solely due to a lack of resources or a high student-teacher ratio.

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.
