Summary

Summerside Elementary is a public elementary school in Cincinnati, Ohio, serving 576 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the West Clermont Local School District, which is ranked 346 out of 828 school districts in the state.

While Summerside Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, it faces several challenges. The school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.5% to 32.3%, significantly higher than the state average and nearby West Clermont Local schools. Summerside's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are also generally lower than the district and state averages. The school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with its rankings for White students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Willowville Elementary and Merwin Elementary schools, which are also part of the West Clermont Local district, generally outperform Summerside Elementary across key metrics. However, Summerside's performance is still better than some of the nearby schools in the Forest Hills Local district, which are among the top-performing elementary schools in Ohio. Addressing the challenges faced by Summerside Elementary will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve the school's resources, instructional practices, and support for students and families.
