Summary:
The city of Sciotoville, Ohio has only one school, East Portsmouth Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 153 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent academic challenges. East Portsmouth Elementary's test scores are substantially lower than both the Portsmouth City district and state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with only 21.4% of 5th graders proficient in science compared to 43.3% district and 63.9% state averages.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.6% may be a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly white, with relatively small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups, which may warrant further investigation into potential equity and inclusion considerations. The per-student spending of $9,460 is a data point that could be analyzed in the context of the school's performance and student needs to determine if resources are being allocated effectively.
Overall, the data suggests that East Portsmouth Elementary is facing significant academic and operational challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes. With only one school in the city, the performance of East Portsmouth Elementary is crucial for the educational opportunities of Sciotoville's students.
