Summary:
The Cleveland Heights-University Heights City school district in Ohio is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, highlighting both challenges and opportunities within the district.
The standout schools in the district are Fairfax Elementary School, which boasts the highest proficiency rates on state tests and the lowest chronic absenteeism, and Roxboro Elementary School, which also demonstrates strong academic achievement. In contrast, Oxford Elementary School lags behind, with only 25% of 5th graders proficient in Science. The racial composition of the schools appears to be correlated with their performance, with the schools serving higher percentages of African American students generally underperforming.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 15.9% at Canterbury Elementary School to 30% at Boulevard Elementary School. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary, which may contribute to the disparities in academic outcomes. However, the data suggests that with the right strategies and resources, the lower-performing schools in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City district could improve and provide a more equitable education for all students.
