Herbert Mills Elementary School

Summary:

Herbert Mills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, serving 419 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Reynoldsburg City School District, which is ranked 562 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Herbert Mills has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 25.3% White, 34.84% African American, 10.26% Hispanic, 19.33% Asian, and 10.26% two or more races, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science was 55.2%, compared to the Reynoldsburg City score of 51% and the Ohio state score of 64%. Additionally, Herbert Mills has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16% in 2020-2021 to 32% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Interestingly, when looking at the school's ranking for different student subgroups, Herbert Mills performs better for African American students, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools in recent years. However, the school's rankings for other subgroups, such as White students, Asian students, and students with disabilities, are much lower, often in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. This suggests that the school may have effective strategies or programs in place to support the academic achievement of its African American student population, which could be leveraged to improve the overall educational outcomes for all students.

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.

Open Quote The principal and a lot of the staff is racist. The students are diverse but the teachers and staff are not. The principal is a poor leader and I wouldn't suggest this school to any parent. Close Quote

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.
