Summary:
The city of Galion, Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area show a mix of performance, with Northmor Elementary School and Northmor High School standing out as the top-performing schools in the data set. These Northmor schools consistently rank in the top 25-40% of Ohio schools, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates.
In contrast, the schools in the Galion City district appear to be struggling, with lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower overall rankings compared to the state. Factors like higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower district rankings may be contributing to the performance gap between the Northmor and Galion schools. The significant differences in spending per student, with Galion High School spending the most at $11,207 per student and Galion Middle School spending the least at $7,414 per student, may also play a role in the disparities.
Overall, the data highlights the importance of considering both school-level and district-level factors when analyzing school performance. The Northmor Local district appears to be providing a higher-quality education for its students, while the Galion City district faces more challenges. Investing more resources in the Galion schools could potentially help improve their outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students in the Galion area.
