Summary

Elmwood Place Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the St Bernard-Elmwood Place City School District in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a student population of 132 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, particularly in the areas of chronic absenteeism and academic performance, which are exacerbated by racial and socioeconomic disparities.

Elmwood Place Elementary School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.9% in 2022-2023 to 49.6% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like St Bernard Elementary School (37.6%) and other Cincinnati Public Schools (46.2% at Academy for Multilingual Immersion Studies, 54.0% at Roselawn Condon School, and 51.9% at ReGeneration Bond Hill). The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is mixed, with strong performance in 5th grade science and English Language Arts, but struggling in mathematics, particularly in 3rd grade.

Elmwood Place Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, dropping from a high of 406 out of 1,651 Ohio elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,123 out of 1,596 in 2022-2023, placing the school in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing well, but White students and students of low socioeconomic status struggling. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to address equity and access issues could be important steps in improving student outcomes at Elmwood Place Elementary School.

I completely agree with the overall rating for this school. It's a shame that this school has to be attached to St. Bernards overall rating for the district. I took my child out of this school and he goes to one not five mins away outside of the neighborhood and it's a big difference. I hate to say it but even in elementary schools race is a factor.
