Summary:
The Southern Local district in Ohio has only one elementary school, Southern Local Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 393 students. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average and others significantly below. While the school's 5th grade science proficiency is above the state average, its 4th and 5th grade math proficiency is notably lower than the state average.
Southern Local Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools over the past three school years. The school also faces challenges with a high rate of chronic absenteeism, with 37.0% of students chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,071, which is in line with the state average. Without additional data on the school's socioeconomic factors, such as the free and reduced-price lunch rate, it is difficult to fully understand the context and potential contributors to the school's academic performance.
Overall, the data suggests that Southern Local Elementary School has room for improvement in ensuring consistent academic achievement across all grade levels and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate. While the school's performance is mixed compared to the state average, more information would be needed to evaluate its standing within the Southern Local district and the broader regional context.
