Warrensville Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Warrensville Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving 876 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Warrensville Heights City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Warrensville Heights Elementary School has a predominantly African American student population, with over 92% of students identifying as such, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by Ohio State Test scores, is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 35-50% compared to the state averages of 62-70%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 22.8% to 29.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. Interestingly, the school's performance is on par with the Warrensville Heights City School District's average, suggesting that the district-wide challenges may be contributing to the school's academic underperformance.

The high concentration of African American students at Warrensville Heights Elementary School and the nearby Citizens Academy Southeast charter school, which has an even higher percentage of African American students at 97.26%, highlights the racial segregation and inequities within the local education system. This raises questions about the underlying factors contributing to the lack of diversity and the challenges faced by these predominantly minority-serving schools. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Warrensville Heights Elementary School compared to Citizens Academy Southeast raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources within the local education system.

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.
