Cross Creek Elementary

Summary:

Cross Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Wintersville, Ohio, serving 476 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Indian Creek Local School District.

While Cross Creek Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.45%) compared to the state average, its academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.8% to 58.3% across different grade levels and subjects. The school has also experienced a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.7% in 2019-2020 to 48.7% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, Cross Creek Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (57.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools.

Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools and outperforms Cross Creek Elementary on state tests by a wide margin. Addressing the underlying causes of the school's low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges will be crucial for Cross Creek Elementary to improve its standing and provide a high-quality education for its 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.

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.
