Lomond Elementary School

Summary:

Lomond Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 372 students in grades PK-4 in Shaker Heights, Ohio. The school has a diverse student population, with 52.96% African American, 28.23% White, 4.03% Hispanic, 1.61% Asian, and 13.17% two or more races.

While Lomond Elementary has a more racially diverse student body compared to the nearby Citizens Academy Southeast, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the Shaker Heights City district average and the state average. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.7% in 2019-2020 to 21.2% in 2022-2023. Interestingly, Lomond Elementary spends $17,799 per student, which is higher than the $8,985 spent per student at the nearby Citizens Academy Southeast, but it's unclear if these resources are being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.

Lomond Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking very highly for its White student population but much lower for its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Ohio elementary schools. While Lomond Elementary's diverse student population could be a strength, the school will need to focus on addressing these challenges to improve student outcomes and maintain its competitiveness among Ohio elementary schools.

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.
