Summary:
The Bethel-Tate Local school district in Ohio is home to two elementary schools: Bick Primary Elementary School and Hill Intermediate Elementary School. The district is ranked 218 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that the schools are performing reasonably well within the state.
Both Bick Primary Elementary and Hill Intermediate Elementary have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.8%, which is higher than the state average. The schools also serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high free and reduced lunch rates of 57.49% at Bick Primary Elementary and 51.3% at Hill Intermediate Elementary. However, Hill Intermediate Elementary stands out as a stronger performer on standardized tests, generally outperforming the Bethel-Tate Local district and the state of Ohio on 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Ohio State Tests in subjects like Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science.
In terms of funding and resources, the two schools have similar per-student spending levels, with Bick Primary Elementary spending $8,629 per student and Hill Intermediate Elementary spending $8,177 per student. The student-teacher ratios are also relatively consistent, with Bick Primary Elementary at 20.2 and Hill Intermediate Elementary at 19.8. Overall, the data suggests that the Bethel-Tate Local district is providing a relatively equitable distribution of resources to its elementary schools, though the high chronic absenteeism rates and socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population are areas that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to support student success.
