Elementary Schools in Elyria City Schools

The Elyria City Schools district in Ohio operates 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district faces significant challenges, with schools consistently underperforming the state averages in math and English language arts test scores and high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student populations.

However, a few schools stand out within the district. Northwood Elementary School is the highest-ranked school in the data set, consistently earning a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outperforming the district and state averages in academic assessments. Ely Elementary School is the second-highest ranked school, also achieving a 2-star rating and outperforming the district and state in several grade levels.

The data reveals that all schools in the Elyria City Schools district have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 75.7% to 91.97%, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the student populations. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is consistently high across all schools, and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes should be top priorities for the district.
