Rushmore Elementary School

Summary:

Rushmore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huber Heights, Ohio, serving 619 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Huber Heights City School District, which is ranked 559 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rushmore Elementary School has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (21.97%) and multi-racial (14.05%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the Ohio State Tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts were below the Huber Heights City and Ohio state averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Rushmore Elementary School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (20.6% in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Rushmore Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school ranks highly for multi-racial and English Language Learner students, it ranks lower for white, disabled, and low socioeconomic status students. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable outcomes for all students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing data-driven strategies to improve academic performance could be priorities for the school and 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.
