Cranbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Cranbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism compared to state and district averages.

Cranbrook Elementary School's student body is relatively diverse, with 45.49% White, 12.78% African American, 18.42% Hispanic, and 18.8% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by Ohio State Tests, is generally below the state and Columbus City Schools District averages across all grade levels. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 56.2% in the 2020-2021 school year, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as the Upper Arlington schools, Cranbrook Elementary School's performance lags behind. The Upper Arlington schools consistently outperform Cranbrook Elementary School and the Columbus City Schools District in academic achievement, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. This suggests that the socioeconomic and demographic factors of the school's location may play a significant role in student outcomes. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and exploring ways to increase funding and targeted interventions could be important steps in improving student outcomes at Cranbrook Elementary School.

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.

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.
