Pickett Elementary School

Summary:

Pickett Elementary School is a public K-8 school in Toledo, Ohio, serving a student population of 274. Despite its small size, the school has consistently struggled, ranking among the lowest-performing schools in the state with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pickett Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 69.3% in the 2020-2021 school year. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are consistently well below the Toledo City district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.1% of 3rd-grade students at Pickett Elementary were proficient in mathematics, compared to 29.9% in the Toledo City district and 62.1% statewide.

While Pickett Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools within the Toledo City district, such as Arlington Elementary, Ella P. Stewart Academy for Girls, and Walbridge Elementary, the school's challenges do not appear to be solely related to funding or staffing, as its spending per student and student-teacher ratio are comparable to nearby schools. Addressing the root causes of Pickett Elementary's struggles, such as chronic absenteeism and low proficiency rates, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for 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.
