Summary:
The city of Glouster, Ohio is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), and 0 alternative schools. Overall, the schools in the Trimble Local School District are consistently underperforming, with all three traditional schools ranked in the bottom 30% of their respective school types in Ohio and receiving 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The standout schools in the district include Trimble Elementary School, which has relatively high 5th grade science proficiency rates but low proficiency in math and English language arts, and Trimble Junior High, which has below-average proficiency rates in 8th grade science as well as in 6th-8th grade math and English language arts. The Trimble High School stands out for its low 4-year graduation rate and high chronic absenteeism rate of 48%, which is significantly higher than the elementary and middle schools.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, including consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a lack of diversity, with the student population being overwhelmingly white. Additionally, there appear to be funding disparities between the schools, with the high school receiving the highest per-student spending. Addressing these systemic issues should be a priority for the Trimble Local School District to improve educational outcomes for its students.
