Summary:
The Barnesville Exempted Village school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Barnesville Elementary School, Barnesville Middle School, and Barnesville High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in a community with significant socioeconomic challenges.
Barnesville Elementary School and Barnesville Middle School have consistently outperformed the state average in Math and English Language Arts proficiency, with the elementary school ranking in the top 30% of Ohio schools and the middle school ranking in the top 35%. In contrast, Barnesville High School has had more mixed results, with some subject areas performing above the state average and others lagging behind.
A significant concern across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which is more than double the desired target of 10% or less. This issue, coupled with the high free/reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, suggests that the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and academic achievement. Addressing these factors could be an important focus for the district as it works to support the success of all its students.
