Pickerington Elementary School

Summary:

Pickerington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 527 students in grades PK-4 in Pickerington, Ohio, which is part of the Pickerington Local School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 39.66% African American, 11.01% Asian, and 8.16% two or more races. Academically, Pickerington Elementary has shown strong performance, with a majority of students scoring proficient or better on the Ohio State Tests in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, the school's performance is slightly below the district and state averages in some areas.

Pickerington Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Pickerington Local School District, such as Toll Gate Elementary and Fairfield Elementary. The school outperforms some nearby schools in other districts, such as Slate Ridge Elementary in the Reynoldsburg City School District. Pickerington Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.4% in 2019-2020 to 16.1% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school and district will need to address.

While Pickerington Elementary excels in certain subgroup performance areas, such as for African American and gifted and talented students, it struggles in others, such as for Asian, English Language Learner, and special education students. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these achievement gaps. Overall, Pickerington Elementary School is a solid-performing elementary school with a diverse student population and some areas of academic strength, but it also faces challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism and achievement disparities among different student subgroups.

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.
