Summary:
The 45225 zip code area of Cincinnati, Ohio is home to three elementary schools: Leap Academy at North Fairmount, Roll Hill School, and Ethel M. Taylor Academy. While these schools face significant challenges, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to Cincinnati Public Schools and Ohio state averages, there are some standout elements worth highlighting.
Roll Hill School stands out with relatively stronger performance on English Language Arts tests, with 82.1% of 3rd graders and 47.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 48.3% compared to the other schools in the area. Leap Academy at North Fairmount also shows promise, with relatively strong performance on Science tests, with 52.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1.
However, the data paints a picture of schools facing significant challenges, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low overall performance compared to district and state averages. This suggests that the schools in this zip code area may be serving a disadvantaged student population that requires additional resources and support to improve educational outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism should be a top priority for these schools and the district.
