McKinley STEMM Academy

Summary:

McKinley STEMM Academy is an elementary school serving 279 students in grades K-8 in the Toledo City School District in Ohio. Despite its focus on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM), the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest performing schools in the state.

McKinley STEMM Academy faces significant challenges, with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 32.7% to 58.4% in recent years, well above the Toledo City and state averages. Student performance on Ohio state assessments is also well below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 18.2% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to 62.1% statewide, and only 8.3% of 8th graders were proficient in math compared to 46.3% statewide. The school's STEMM focus does not appear to be effectively boosting student achievement in these core subject areas.

Interestingly, McKinley STEMM Academy performs significantly worse than most of the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, including Elmhurst Elementary School, Glenwood Elementary School, Larchmont Elementary School, and DeVeaux Elementary School, which generally outperform McKinley STEMM Academy on test scores and other metrics, despite being part of the same low-performing Toledo City School District. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and district-level challenges are contributing to the school's poor performance.

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.
