Jefferson Pk-8 School

Summary:

Jefferson Pk-8 School is a public elementary school serving 725 students in grades PK-8 in Warren, Ohio, which is part of the Warren City School District. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and large achievement gaps between student subgroups.

Jefferson Pk-8 School's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages and the surrounding schools, such as Lordstown Elementary School, Niles Intermediate School, and Niles Preparatory Academy. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th grade math proficiency rate was just 8.6%, compared to the state average of 46.3% and the surrounding schools' rates ranging from 15.8% to 50.8%. The school's performance is particularly low for its White and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups.

Another major concern is the school's extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 45.3% to 59.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. Addressing attendance issues should be a top priority for the school and district. While the school's funding and resources are on par with the surrounding schools, other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in the school's low performance. Collaboration with the surrounding schools and the Warren City School District may provide valuable insights and best practices to help improve outcomes at Jefferson Pk-8 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.
