Colerain Elementary School

Summary:

Colerain Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Northwest Local School District. With a diverse student population, the school generally performs better than the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and English language arts.

Colerain Elementary School's academic performance is a bright spot, with higher proficiency rates in key subjects compared to the Northwest Local School District and the state of Ohio. The school's African American and multi-racial student subgroups also perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% and top 50% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's English Language Learner, disabled, and low socioeconomic status student subgroups lag behind, indicating a need for more equitable support.

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 My child attends kindergarten at Colerain. The teachers are smart and willing to help kids who are falling behind. They also take time to challenge students who are ahead of the curve. The class size is on the large side, but the programs are solid. 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.
