Summary:
Circleville City, Ohio is home to a single elementary school, Circleville Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subject areas, it also faces several challenges that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
Circleville Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 869 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 776 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state tests is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels exceeding the state average, while others fall below. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had a 70.1% proficiency rate in 5th-grade science, which was higher than the state average of 63.4%, but its 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 61.1% was lower than the state average of 64.4%.
Another area of concern for Circleville Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.9% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. This is a significant issue, as chronic absenteeism is closely linked to lower academic performance and increased risk of dropout. Additionally, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,871, which is in line with the state average, and its student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 20.9, which is slightly higher than the recommended ratio for elementary schools.
