Paulding Exempted Village

The Paulding Exempted Village school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of performance across the district, with one standout elementary school and lower-performing middle and high schools.

Oakwood Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 10% of Ohio elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Oakwood has significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages across core subjects. In contrast, Paulding High School and Paulding Middle School appear to be lower-performing, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio schools in their respective categories.

The data also reveals some concerning trends across the district, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and elevated free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the high school level. This suggests the district may need to implement additional support and interventions to help students facing socioeconomic challenges succeed academically. Overall, the Paulding Exempted Village district has room for improvement, but the standout performance of Oakwood Elementary provides a model for the district to learn from and apply to its other schools.
