Summary:
The Gibsonburg Exempted Village school district in Ohio consists of three schools: James J Hilfiker Elementary School, Gibsonburg High School, and Gibsonburg Middle School. The data reveals a stark performance gap between the elementary school and the secondary schools in the district.
James J Hilfiker Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with consistently high test scores and ranking in the top 20-30% of Ohio elementary schools. Its 5th grade science proficiency rate of 90.4% is particularly impressive, well above the state average. In contrast, Gibsonburg High School and Gibsonburg Middle School both rank in the bottom half of their respective school types statewide, with test scores, especially in math, lagging behind state averages.
Across all three schools, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 10.5%, which is on the higher end compared to state benchmarks. Additionally, the data shows a higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students at the high school level, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 76.8% compared to 38.5% at the elementary school. This may require targeted support and resources to ensure these students have the necessary tools to succeed. The high student-teacher ratio of 26.4 at the middle school could also be a factor in the lower academic performance at that level.
