Summary:
The Alexander Local school district in Ohio serves students from two schools - Alexander Junior/Senior High School and Alexander Elementary School. While the high school consistently ranks in the top 50% of Ohio high schools and maintains a strong 98.2% graduation rate, the elementary school has more room for improvement, ranking 810 out of 1,558 elementary schools in the state.
The high school outperforms the state average on several key test scores, including 8th grade science, American Government, and Biology. In contrast, the elementary school still performs above the state average on 3rd-5th grade tests in math and English Language Arts. However, both schools share a concerning 20.3% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state would like to see.
Financially, the district faces challenges, with the high school spending $9,745 per student and the elementary school spending $8,892 per student. The high school also has a very high 95.19% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-need student population. Addressing funding disparities, chronic absenteeism, and ensuring equitable resources across grade levels could help the district better support student success throughout the Alexander Local school system.
