Summary:
Dampe Community School is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-6 in the Dampe community, with an enrollment of 102 students. Based on the available data, this school is consistently one of the lowest-performing in Ohio, ranking in the bottom 1-2% of elementary schools statewide with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dampe Community School's academic performance is alarmingly low, with proficiency rates well below 50% across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. In Math, the school had 0% proficiency across all grade levels, while the state averages ranged from 47.6% to 69.1%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate was an extremely high 97.2% in the 2024-2025 school year.
The combination of low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average spending per student of $6,921 in 2018-2019 suggests that Dampe Community School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. Significant interventions and improvements may be needed to turn the school around and address the root causes of its poor performance within the Dampe Community School district.
