Summary:
The 46241 zip code area is home to 5 elementary schools, with 4 schools belonging to the MSD Wayne Township district and 1 school belonging to the MSD Decatur Township district. These schools serve students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the schools, McClelland Elementary School stands out as the highest performer, with the best overall test scores and lowest chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Maplewood Elementary School is the lowest-performing school, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. The other schools, Lynwood Elementary, Stout Field Elementary School, and Rhoades Elementary School, also struggle with low academic performance, often falling below the district and state benchmarks.
The data analysis suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Maplewood, Lynwood, and Rhoades, tend to have the lowest test scores. Additionally, chronic absenteeism appears to be a significant factor, with the schools exhibiting the highest rates of chronic absenteeism also demonstrating the lowest academic achievement. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools in the 46241 zip code area.
