Summary:
The three elementary schools located in the Trotwood-Madison City school district in Ohio are struggling to meet state academic standards. The schools, which serve grades K-5, serve a predominantly African American student population and face challenges with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average performance compared to the state.
None of the three schools - Trotwood-Madison Early Learning Center, Madison Park Elementary, and Westbrooke Village - stand out as high-performing, with all three schools scoring well below state averages on key metrics like 3rd and 4th grade math and reading proficiency. Chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.7% to 33.1%, are also a major concern and likely contribute to the low academic performance.
Despite spending more per student than the state average, the Trotwood-Madison City elementary schools are struggling to improve student outcomes. Addressing root causes like attendance, equity, and instructional quality will be crucial for the district to make meaningful progress and better serve its students.
