Summary:
The city of Collins, Ohio is home to three schools in the Western Reserve Local district, serving students from elementary through high school. While the district faces systemic challenges, with all three schools ranking in the bottom half statewide, a few standout schools and insights emerge from the data.
Western Reserve High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 97.4% and strong performance on state tests in American Government and American History, though it struggles in Geometry and English II. In contrast, Western Reserve Elementary School performs well above the state average in 3rd and 4th grade math, as well as 3rd grade English Language Arts, but lags behind in 5th grade science.
Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.8% to 19.8%, and extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, especially 89.2% at the high school, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Additionally, the relatively low spending per student, between $8,684 and $10,342, suggests potential funding and resource allocation issues that may be contributing to the district's overall underperformance.
