Denver Place Elementary School

Summary:

Denver Place Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wilmington, Ohio, serving 473 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Wilmington City School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Denver Place Elementary has a strong gifted and talented program, ranking 25th out of 108 Ohio elementary schools, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally below the state average and the nearby schools. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts were lower than the state and Wilmington City averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, Denver Place Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 34.1% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby schools.

Interestingly, Denver Place Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While the school's Hispanic students perform well, ranking 62nd out of 216 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022, the school's white and multi-racial students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools. This suggests that the school may be able to leverage its strengths in serving specific student subgroups to improve overall performance. However, the school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade, from 979th out of 1,684 Ohio elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 976th out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, indicates that it is struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state.

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.
