Summary:
The city of Montpelier, Ohio is home to two schools: Montpelier Elementary School and Montpelier High School, both part of the Montpelier Exempted Village district. While the elementary school serves grades K-5, the high school covers grades 9-12, providing a comprehensive education for students in the area.
Based on the available data, Montpelier High School appears to be the standout school in the district, with a higher statewide ranking, a 3-star rating, and stronger student performance on state assessments, particularly in science, social studies, and English. The high school also boasts an impressive 88.5% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Montpelier Elementary School performs well in the early grades but struggles with declining performance in the upper elementary years, suggesting a need for curriculum and instructional improvements.
Both schools, however, face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which are above the state average. Additionally, while the high school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, the elementary school's ratio of 18.6 is significantly higher, which may contribute to the performance differences between the two schools. Overall, the Montpelier school district appears to have a strong high school, but could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions to address the areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and declining performance in the upper elementary grades and in high school math.
