High Point Elementary School

Summary:

High Point Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gahanna, Ohio, serving 528 students in grades K-5 and part of the Gahanna-Jefferson City School District.

High Point Elementary consistently performs above state and district averages on Ohio State Tests, with 82.1% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 76.5% in the district and 64.5% statewide. The school also ranks in the top 10% of Ohio elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While High Point has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, nearby schools like Goshen Lane Elementary and Royal Manor Elementary serve more diverse student populations and have higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The stark differences in academic performance and student demographics between High Point Elementary and some of its neighbors raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education across the Gahanna-Jefferson City School District. Further analysis may be needed to understand the factors contributing to these disparities and how the district can ensure all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
