IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc

Summary:

IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a student population of 493. The school is part of the IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc district, which is ranked 716 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc is struggling academically, with consistently lower test scores than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 21.2% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, with 68.7% of students chronically absent, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of the nearby schools like Ethel M. Taylor Academy, Delshire Elementary School, and William H Taft Elementary School.

When looking at the school's performance by student subgroups, IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc ranks particularly low for Special Education students (852 out of 900 Ohio elementary schools) and Low Socio-Economic Status students (1350 out of 1484 Ohio elementary schools). The school's spending per student ($7,651) is also lower than the nearby Cincinnati Public Schools district, which may be impacting its ability to provide the necessary resources and support for its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance should be a top priority for the school and the IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc 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.

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
