Ridgeview Elementary School

Summary:

Ridgeview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ashtabula, Ohio, serving 429 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Buckeye Local District, which is ranked 433 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ridgeview Elementary has shown mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages. While the school performs well in some areas, such as 4th grade mathematics (83.3% proficient or better), it struggles in others, like 5th grade science (58.3% proficient or better). The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 347 out of 1,687 Ohio elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 768 out of 1,596 in 2022-2023, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to nearby schools like Kingsville Elementary and Austinburg Elementary, Ridgeview generally performs on par or slightly below in academic achievement.

One concerning trend at Ridgeview Elementary is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.6% in 2019-2020 to 34.1% in 2021-2022, well above the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools, while disabled students and gifted and talented students perform better. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and targeting areas of academic weakness could help Ridgeview Elementary improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student population.

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.
