Elementary Schools in Tallmadge City

Tallmadge City, Ohio is home to a single elementary school, Tallmadge Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school's performance has seen a relative decline in recent years, as evidenced by its dropping statewide ranking, though it maintains some academic strengths compared to state averages.

Tallmadge Elementary School's test scores show a mixed performance, with the school outperforming state averages in certain subject areas and grade levels, such as 5th grade Science and 4th grade Mathematics, while underperforming in others like 3rd grade Mathematics and 5th grade Mathematics. The school also struggles with a higher-than-target chronic absenteeism rate of 15.1%, which could be impacting overall student outcomes. Additionally, over one-third of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite higher-than-average spending per student and a student-teacher ratio slightly above the national average, Tallmadge Elementary School's academic performance remains uneven. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing student success. Further investigation into the underlying causes of the school's trends and comparisons to other schools within the Tallmadge City district could provide valuable insights to guide future improvement efforts.
