Kirkmere School

Summary:

Kirkmere School is an elementary school in Youngstown, Ohio, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Youngstown City School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, currently ranking 1385 out of 1577 Ohio elementary schools with a 1-star rating.

Kirkmere School has a significantly higher percentage of African American (47.53%) and Hispanic (22.08%) students compared to the state average, which is an important aspect of the school's diverse student population. However, the school has experienced concerning trends, including high chronic absenteeism rates reaching 62.5% in 2021-2022 and 55.4% in 2022-2023, which are significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Kirkmere School's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are consistently lower than the Youngstown City and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low performance for certain student subgroups.

While Kirkmere School faces significant challenges, the school's diversity and the presence of nearby schools, such as Taft Elementary School and Volney Rogers School, which have slightly better performance, indicate that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the community.

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.
