McKinley Elementary School

Summary:

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Xenia, Ohio, serving 319 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Xenia Community City district, which is ranked 479 out of 839 school districts in the state.

While McKinley Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Ohio elementary schools, the school faces some challenges. It has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, ranging from 640th out of 1,610 schools in 2020-2021 to 779th out of 1,577 schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance for its gifted and talented students is a particular area of concern, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. However, the school performs relatively well for its low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in this category.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Xenia Community City district, McKinley Elementary generally performs in the middle of the pack, with Tecumseh Elementary and Shawnee Elementary showing stronger academic results in some areas. When compared to elementary schools in the neighboring Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Local and Beavercreek City districts, McKinley Elementary lags behind in overall academic performance, with schools like Fairbrook Elementary, Main Elementary, and Bell Creek Intermediate consistently outperforming it.

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.

Open Quote DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. I don't recommend this place to anyone! My son has been bullied by teachers and students from the second grade all the way to the fifth. One year it was so bad with this boy at school he was coming home in tears, so at his iep meeting that year I brought it up (bc the teacher we talked to was doing nothing) and I was told "oh he is having troubles at home" then the principle looked me dead in my face and said "maybe it's a situation where boys will be boys".. this year in the fifth grade was the worst though.. my son a couple of weeks ago got attacked in the boys bathroom by two boys, when the teacher found out they were in there she had them all come out and my son told her that they were trying to dunk his head in the toilet and punching him.. she didn't Call me. my son sat through school all day worried how he was going to tell me.. then when I went into the school I talked to the principle and asked why no-one called me and he threw his hands up in the air and said " how could we call you if no-one knew!" The teacher told me she didn't tell him bc she didn't see it happen but took the two boys recess away which she thought justified what they did to my son. I also found the two moms of the boys who did this to him and they never called one of them and the other boys mother said they didn't go into much detail.. I quickly pulled my son out to homeschool.. most of the teachers also don't know how to help kids that are on the on the spectrum.. the principle had the nerve to tell me my son was a "tough case" bc he was putting his head down after he was done with his work.. this place is a joke!

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.
