Summary:
The city of Rossford, Ohio is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Rossford Elementary School, Rossford High School, and Rossford Junior High School. These schools, part of the Rossford Exempted Village district, exhibit a mix of strengths and areas for improvement based on key performance metrics.
Rossford Junior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 8th grade science and 7th grade math, where students exceed state and district averages. The school also boasts a 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam. In contrast, Rossford High School may be the district's other bright spot, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.6% and impressive results on the American Government end-of-course exam.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, around 18.3%. Additionally, there is a stark contrast in free/reduced lunch rates between the elementary/junior high (around 48%) and the high school (96.12%), indicating a significant socioeconomic divide within the district. The variation in per-student spending, from $12,164 at the elementary school to $16,074 at the high school, also raises questions about resource allocation and equity.
