Summary:
The city of Elida, Ohio is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Elida Elementary, Elida High School, and Elida Middle School. These schools, part of the Elida Local district, demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and socioeconomic challenges.
Elida High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 181 out of 867 Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school maintains a strong 87.7% 4-year graduation rate and excels on state assessments, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in several subjects. In contrast, Elida Elementary and Elida Middle School face higher rates of chronic absenteeism, at 21.7% and 29.1% respectively, which may impact student learning and achievement.
Socioeconomic factors also play a significant role, with Elida Elementary and Elida Middle School serving a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 55.89% and 59.4% respectively. This suggests the district may need to examine its resource allocation to ensure equitable support for all students, as Elida High School spends the most per student at $10,527 per year, compared to $7,351 and $8,275 for the elementary and middle schools, respectively.
