Fairfield East Elementary School

Summary:

Fairfield East Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 616 students in grades PK-5 in the Fairfield City School District in Hamilton, Ohio. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (54.71%), followed by African American (19.97%), Asian (10.88%), Hispanic (9.58%), and students of two or more races (4.87%).

Fairfield East Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 3.4% in 2019-2020 to 23.1% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance on Ohio state assessments is mixed, with strong performance in some subject areas, such as 5th grade English Language Arts (76.7% proficient or better in 2023-2024), but lagging behind in others, such as 5th grade Mathematics (60.5% proficient or better in 2023-2024). Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for African American and Hispanic students but struggling with Special Education and Disabled students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Fairfield North Elementary, which consistently outperforms Fairfield East on state assessments and has lower chronic absenteeism rates, Fairfield East Elementary stands out. The school's diverse student population and high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (42.37% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing factors to its performance challenges. Additionally, Fairfield East Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of best practices to address the underlying factors and improve student outcomes.

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.
