Summary:
The 45229 zip code area of Cincinnati, Ohio is home to 4 elementary schools, including 3 public schools and 1 public charter school. These schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with varying levels of academic performance and other key metrics.
Among the standout schools in the area, North Avondale Montessori School emerges as the top performer, with the highest student enrollment, most diverse student population, and consistently higher test scores across subject areas and grade levels compared to the other schools. In contrast, ReGeneration Schools Avondale Elementary, the public charter school, has the lowest test scores and the highest chronic absenteeism rate, despite having the highest four-year graduation rate.
Across the schools, there are significant disparities in key metrics, such as student-teacher ratios, spending per student, and academic outcomes. These disparities suggest that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the performance gaps. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and the systemic inequities faced by these predominantly African American and low-income student populations should be a priority for the Cincinnati Public Schools and the ReGeneration Schools district.
