Nolley Elementary School

Summary:

Nolley Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school serving 462 students in grades PK-4 in Akron, Ohio. Part of the Akron City School District, Nolley consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and exceptional academic outcomes across various student subgroups.

Nolley Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high performance on Ohio State Tests, with 94.4% of 3rd graders and 90.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, far exceeding the state averages. The school also excels in supporting gifted and talented students, students with disabilities, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top 2-7% of Ohio elementary schools for these subgroups. Additionally, Nolley maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and a favorable student-teacher ratio, providing students with individualized attention.

While Nolley Elementary's academic achievements are impressive, it is important to note that the school serves a predominantly white student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white. This racial composition differs significantly from the more diverse student populations of nearby schools, such as W.S. Stinson Elementary and Sauder Elementary, which also rank highly in the state. As Nolley continues to excel, it may consider exploring ways to further support its small population of non-white students and address any potential disparities in their academic 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.
