Daniel Wright Elementary School

Summary:

Daniel Wright Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 584 students in grades K-5 and part of the Dublin City School District, which is ranked 120 out of 839 school districts in Ohio.

Daniel Wright Elementary has a diverse student population, with 45.89% White, 14.04% African American, 16.95% Hispanic, 11.99% Asian, and 10.79% two or more races. The school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but it has notable strengths in certain areas, such as 6th-grade mathematics (100% proficiency) and 5th-grade English Language Arts (75.6% proficiency). Interestingly, the school's African American and Hispanic students outperform their peers at the state level on state assessments, suggesting effective strategies to support these student populations.

In comparison, the nearby DCS Virtual school, also part of the Dublin City School District, has a smaller enrollment of 64 students and a higher percentage of Asian students (37.5%). DCS Virtual's academic performance is generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. However, Daniel Wright Elementary's diverse student population and its strengths in supporting certain subgroups are notable strengths. The school's main area of concern is its increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which the school and district should prioritize addressing.

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.
