The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 483 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year (3-star rating) to 876 out of 1,610 in the 2020-2021 school year (2-star rating). South Point Elementary has performed well in certain student subgroups, ranking 355 out of 1,466 Ohio elementary schools for female students (4-star rating) and 115 out of 1,484 for low socioeconomic status students (5-star rating) in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's ranking for white students and male students has been lower, indicating potential achievement gaps.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Burlington Elementary School in the same district, South Point Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and school rankings. The school's strong performance for low socioeconomic status students is noteworthy, as it suggests the school is effectively supporting this population, in contrast to some nearby schools with higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates at South Point Elementary School stand out compared to nearby schools, which is an area the school and district should focus on addressing to improve student outcomes.

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.
