Summary:
The city of Beallsville, Ohio is home to two schools - Beallsville Elementary School and Beallsville High School, both part of the Switzerland of Ohio Local school district. While the elementary school shows academic strengths, both schools face challenges with student demographics and overall performance.
Beallsville Elementary School has consistently high test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts, with several grades performing significantly above the state and district averages. In contrast, Beallsville High School has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is an impressive achievement. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention.
However, both schools also face significant challenges. They have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Additionally, both schools have alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates of 31.4%, which likely contribute to their low School Digger ratings. The disparity in spending per student between the elementary and high school, with the elementary spending significantly more, is also noteworthy and may be an area to explore further to understand the resource allocation and potential impacts on student outcomes.
