Summary:
The city of New Knoxville, Ohio is home to two schools - New Knoxville Elementary School and New Knoxville High School, which are part of the New Knoxville Local School District. The data shows that New Knoxville Elementary is a standout school, ranking in the top 5% of elementary schools in Ohio and consistently maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Students at the elementary school demonstrate exceptionally high proficiency rates on state tests, far exceeding state averages. In contrast, while New Knoxville High School is still a strong performer, ranking in the top 11% of high schools statewide, it does not stand out to the same degree as the elementary school.
Key metrics show that New Knoxville Elementary has 296 students, with a predominantly white student population, while New Knoxville High has 98 students. The elementary school has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.5%, compared to 15.0% at the high school. Additionally, the high school has a much higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch at 73.47%, compared to the unspecified rate at the elementary school. Per-student spending is also higher at the high school, at $12,875 per student, compared to $10,792 per student at the elementary school.
Overall, the data suggests that the New Knoxville Local School District is a high-performing district, with both the elementary and high school ranked in the top tiers of their respective categories statewide. However, the higher chronic absenteeism rate and free/reduced lunch eligibility at the high school level may indicate areas for the district to investigate further, in order to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.
