Covington Elementary School

Summary:

Covington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 413 students in grades K-5 in Covington, Ohio, which is part of the Covington Exempted Village School District. The school consistently performs well on state assessments, with a majority of students scoring proficient or better in core subjects. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area of concern.

Covington Elementary's academic performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of nearby schools, such as Russia Elementary and Hardin Houston Elementary. The school also performs well for its low-income students, ranking in the top 20% of Ohio elementary schools in this category. Additionally, Covington Elementary has a strong program for gifted and talented students, ranking 220 out of 759 Ohio elementary schools in this area.

Despite these strengths, Covington Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, from a high of 345 out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 514 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This trend warrants further investigation to identify potential areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate.

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.
