Summary:
The city of Williamsburg, Ohio is home to two strong-performing schools within the Williamsburg Local District: Williamsburg High School (grades 6-12) and Williamsburg Elementary School (grades PK-5). Both schools demonstrate impressive academic achievement, with students scoring well above state averages on Ohio State Tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Williamsburg High School stands out with a 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which could be an area for further investigation and improvement. Demographically, the high school's student population is predominantly white (93.83%), with small percentages of African American (1.5%) and Hispanic (2.06%) students.
At the elementary level, Williamsburg Elementary School boasts impressive academic performance, with 91.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science. The school also maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% compared to the high school. Similar to the high school, the elementary school's student population is predominantly white (92.23%), with small percentages of African American (0.97%) and Hispanic (1.94%) students. Both schools have comparable per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, indicating a consistent level of resource allocation across the district. However, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools (34.02% at the high school and 39.81% at the elementary school) suggest a need for additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students.
