Summary:
The city of Mineral Ridge, Ohio is home to two schools - Seaborn Elementary School and Mineral Ridge High School, both part of the Weathersfield Local school district. Seaborn Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently scoring well above state averages on standardized tests, while Mineral Ridge High has seen a decline in performance in recent years.
Seaborn Elementary is a standout school, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 109th out of 1,596 elementary schools in Ohio. With 87.3% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the state science test, compared to the state average of 63.9%, Seaborn demonstrates exceptional academic achievement. However, both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.7% at Seaborn to 27.5% at Mineral Ridge High.
While the schools have similar racial demographics, with a majority white student population, they differ in their per-student spending, with Mineral Ridge High spending $9,189 per student compared to $7,679 at Seaborn Elementary. This funding gap may contribute to the disparity in academic performance between the two schools, and warrants further investigation to ensure equitable resources for all students in the Mineral Ridge community.
