While Wright Brothers Elementary School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts were several percentage points below the district and state averages across all grade levels in the 2023-2024 school year.

When analyzing the school's performance by student subgroups, Wright Brothers Elementary School ranks relatively well for African American students, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools in this category.

Compared to the nearby schools in the Huber Heights City School District, Wright Brothers Elementary School generally performs at a lower level, both in terms of academic achievement and student group rankings, suggesting the need for the school to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing schools in the district.

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.
