Summary:
The 45204 zip code area of Cincinnati, Ohio is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 alternative school serving grades PK-12. These schools, which are part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district or independent IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc and Riverside Community School Inc. dba Riverside Academy charter districts, face significant challenges in providing quality education to their predominantly minority student populations.
Among the standout schools, Oyler School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90% but also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 59.8%. The school's test scores are generally below district and state averages, with some exceptions like 8th grade science and math. In contrast, Rees E. Price Academy and IDEA Greater Cincinnati Inc have very low proficiency rates across most subject areas and grade levels, with math being a particular weakness. The Riverside Community School also ranks in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools.
Across these schools, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, ranging from 51.3% at Rees E. Price Academy to 79.5% at Riverside Community School. This crisis, coupled with the stark achievement gaps between the schools and state averages, raises concerns about equity and access to high-quality education in this area of Cincinnati. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for these schools to better serve their communities.
