Miami Whitewater Elementary School

Summary:

Miami Whitewater Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 670 students in grades K-5 in the Southwest Local School District in Harrison, Ohio. While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it currently ranks 717th out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Crosby Elementary and Harrison Elementary, Miami Whitewater Elementary School appears to be underperforming in several key areas. The school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.5% to 29.3% in recent years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's test scores, while generally above the state average, tend to lag behind the high-performing schools in the area, such as Charles W Springmyer Elementary and Ross Intermediate.

Over the past decade, Miami Whitewater Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 87th out of 1,651 Ohio elementary schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 717th out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with the performance of other elementary schools in the state, and there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as instructional practices, student engagement, and targeted support for underperforming student groups.

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.
