Riverside Community School Inc. dba Riverside Academy

Summary:

Riverside Community School Inc. dba Riverside Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 163 students in grades K-8 in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school faces significant academic and operational challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low performance on state assessments and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Riverside Academy consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Ohio, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics ranged from 6.7% to 40%, compared to the state average of 46.3% to 67.2%. Similarly, in English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20% to 50%, compared to the state average of 49.4% to 64.5%. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have also been consistently high, ranging from 79.1% to 91.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

In comparison, the nearby public schools, such as Dater Montessori School, Leap Academy at North Fairmount, and C.O. Harrison Elementary, generally outperform Riverside Academy on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. These schools also have higher per-student spending and more favorable student-teacher ratios. The data suggests that Riverside Academy faces significant hurdles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and concerted efforts will be required to address these systemic issues and improve outcomes for the school community.

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.
