Summary

Covedale School is an elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 432 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Cincinnati Public Schools district.

Covedale School faces several academic challenges, with performance on Ohio State Tests generally below state and district averages across grade levels and subjects, particularly in Mathematics. The school's chronic absenteeism rates are also consistently high, ranging from 37.2% to 46.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, Covedale School outperforms some nearby schools, such as Rees E. Price Academy and Midway School, in terms of academic proficiency.

One bright spot for Covedale School is the performance of its African American students, who have ranked in the top 3 out of 5 stars in the state for the past three school years. In contrast, the school's performance for White students, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 1 or 2 stars in the state. To improve, Covedale School may need to focus on addressing the factors contributing to its high chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support the academic growth of its lower-performing student subgroups.

This is a great school with great teacher and parent involvement. They have a gardening club to support environmentalism, have extensive recycling and composting programs, and programs to support gifted and accelerated students. I've very happy with this school. Close Quote
