Slate Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Slate Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Worthington, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 34.92% White, 22.34% African American, 28.85% Hispanic, 2.39% Asian, and 11.5% two or more races. Slate Hill is part of the Worthington City School District, which is ranked 166 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Slate Hill Elementary School faces some challenges, particularly in terms of chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased significantly from 3.5% in 2019-2020 to 23.6% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strong performance in some areas, such as 3rd grade mathematics and 5th grade science, but lagging behind in others, such as 5th grade mathematics and English Language Arts. Interestingly, the school has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, but struggles to support other subgroups, such as male students and students with disabilities.

When comparing Slate Hill Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Worthington City School District, such as Wilson Hill Elementary School and Worthington Estates Elementary School, these schools consistently outperform Slate Hill in test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Slate Hill to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to improve student outcomes and better serve its diverse community.

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.
