Summary:
The Ashland City school district in Ohio is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools in the district, with Reagan Elementary School and Taft Intermediate School standing out as academic standouts, while Edison Elementary School lags behind.
Reagan Elementary School consistently outperforms the Ashland City and Ohio state averages in Math and English Language Arts for 3rd grade students, with 91.9% and 86.6% proficiency rates, respectively. Similarly, Taft Intermediate School exceeds the district and state averages in Math, ELA, and Science for 4th and 5th grade students. In contrast, Edison Elementary School struggles to meet the district and state benchmarks in these core subjects.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools that have higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Edison Elementary School and Taft Intermediate School, tending to have lower academic performance compared to Reagan Elementary School, which has a lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. Additionally, all three schools share a consistent chronic absenteeism rate of 15.8%, suggesting a broader district-level or community-wide challenge that needs to be addressed.
