Summary:
The city of Hamersville, Ohio is home to a single standout elementary school, Hamersville Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This school has consistently high academic performance, with students scoring well above state averages on Ohio State Tests across multiple grade levels and subjects. Hamersville Elementary is ranked in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools and has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2022-2023 school year.
Hamersville Elementary's strengths include particularly strong performance in science, with 81.7% of 5th graders and 68.1% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to state averages of 63.9% and 64% respectively. The school also excels in math, with 4th graders scoring an impressive 94.6% proficient or better, well above the state average of 66.8%. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with over 96% of students identifying as white, and nearly half of the student population (48.31%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of students come from low-income households.
The Western Brown Local district, which Hamersville Elementary is a part of, allocates adequate resources to the school, with spending per student of $8,167, in line with the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% is an area of concern, and the district may benefit from investigating the underlying causes and implementing strategies to improve attendance. Overall, Hamersville Elementary School is a strong-performing institution that is effectively serving its students and community, though there are opportunities to address demographic diversity and socioeconomic challenges.
