Summary:
The city of Bucyrus, Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a clear divide between the Wynford Local and Bucyrus City school districts, with the Wynford schools serving a more affluent, predominantly white student population and the Bucyrus schools having higher poverty levels and more racial diversity.
Among the standout schools, Wynford Elementary School and Wynford High School demonstrate stronger performance, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and better graduation rates compared to their Bucyrus counterparts. The Bucyrus schools, on the other hand, have significantly higher free/reduced lunch rates, indicating the challenges faced by students from lower-income backgrounds.
The data suggests that the socioeconomic factors may be contributing to achievement gaps between the Wynford and Bucyrus schools. While the Bucyrus schools spend more per student, the higher chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the secondary level, point to the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities observed in this data set.
