Summary:
The Claymont City school district in Ohio consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant performance and equity challenges, with all schools ranked in the middle or bottom half of their respective state rankings.
Among the standout schools, Claymont Middle School consistently ranks in the top half of Ohio middle schools and has strong test scores, particularly in 8th grade Algebra I. Similarly, Claymont High School has shown improvement in recent years, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and maintaining test scores above the district and state averages, along with a relatively high 90.2% four-year graduation rate.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of around 20% across all schools and relatively low test scores. The elementary schools have the highest free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 66-70%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the data highlights potential bright spots, it also underscores the need for targeted interventions and support to address the broader performance and equity concerns facing the Claymont City school district.
