Summary:
The city of West Union, Ohio is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school, with no middle schools or alternative schools in the area. The schools in this district are predominantly white and serve a relatively low-income student population, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates.
West Union Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, with 5th grade science proficiency and 3rd-6th grade math proficiency exceeding district and state averages. In contrast, West Union High School struggles academically, particularly in math and science, despite having a low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which could indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Both the elementary and high schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of concern for the Adams County Ohio Valley Local School District.
Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement within the West Union school district. The elementary school's academic performance is a bright spot, while the high school's struggles and the district's socioeconomic challenges present opportunities for targeted interventions and support. The district's low student-teacher ratios, especially at the high school level, could be a strength that the district can leverage to provide more personalized attention and support for students.
