J W Reason Elementary School

Summary:

J W Reason Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hilliard, Ohio, serving around 490 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Hilliard City School District, which is ranked 279 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

J W Reason Elementary School has a relatively diverse student population, with 54.29% White, 12.45% African American, 19.39% Hispanic, and 5.71% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the Hilliard City and Ohio state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 53.1% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the Hilliard City average of 73.8% and the Ohio state average of 64%. Additionally, J W Reason Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 12.9% in 2020-2021 to 15.7% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the rates of some nearby schools like Hoffman Trails Elementary (6.4% in 2023-2024) and Avery Elementary (6.1% in 2023-2024).

While J W Reason Elementary School's Hispanic students consistently perform well, ranking in the top 50 out of 234 Ohio elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's White students perform relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom 300 out of 1,190 Ohio elementary schools in the same year. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 582 out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 944 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state, and there may be opportunities for the school to learn from its higher-performing counterparts within the Hilliard City School District.

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.
