Summary:
The elementary schools located in the 45224 zip code area of Cincinnati, Ohio serve a predominantly African American student population and struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and resource disparities. Of the four schools in the data set, Pleasant Hill Academy, College Hill Fundamental Academy, Elevated Excellence Academy, and Rising Stars at Aiken New Technical/College Hill, the data reveals stark differences in their academic performance and overall quality.
Elevated Excellence Academy stands out as the lowest-performing school, with extremely low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and the lowest state-wide ranking, placing 1579 out of 1596 Ohio elementary schools. In contrast, Pleasant Hill Academy and College Hill Fundamental Academy, while still struggling to meet state and district averages, perform better than Elevated Excellence Academy. The data also reveals variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggesting potential differences in resource allocation and funding among the schools.
The high concentration of African American students, ranging from 79.5% to 98.94%, raises concerns about educational equity and access to quality education in the 45224 zip code area. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these performance gaps and resource disparities, and to develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across the Cincinnati Public Schools district and the Elevated Excellence Academy district.
