Summary

West Main Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-4 in Ravenna, Ohio, part of the Ravenna City School District. With 301 students, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates and below-average academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels.

West Main Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.0% to 38.1% over the past few years, are significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby higher-performing schools like Henry Defer Intermediate Elementary (19.3%), Holden Elementary (26.6%), and Brimfield Elementary (18.3%). The school's proficiency rates on the Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts are also below the state average and the rates of nearby higher-performing schools.

Additionally, West Main Elementary School performs particularly poorly for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and special education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools in their respective categories. The school's performance for African American students and multi-racial students is also below average, ranking in the bottom 50% of Ohio elementary schools. Addressing these equity concerns should be a top priority for the school and the Ravenna City School District.
