Summary:
The Wayne Trace Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Payne Elementary and Grover Hill Elementary) and 1 high school (Wayne Trace High School). The district demonstrates strong academic performance, with several standout schools ranking among the top in the state.
Wayne Trace High School is a standout, consistently ranking between 130-160 out of 867 Ohio high schools over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts an impressive 94.8% 4-year graduation rate and strong academic proficiency, particularly in 8th grade science (70.2%), 7th grade math (52.4%), and 7th grade English Language Arts (77.4%). In contrast, Grover Hill Elementary stands out for its exceptional 5th grade science proficiency (97.3%), well above the state average of 63.9%, as well as high 3rd grade math (92%) and English Language Arts (84%) proficiency rates.
While the schools in the Wayne Trace Local district demonstrate overall academic excellence, the data also highlights areas for potential improvement. The student population across the district is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at the elementary schools (around 47%) suggest a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which could have implications for resource allocation and targeted support programs. The high school also faces challenges with a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (18.1%) compared to the elementary schools (10.2% and 13.9%), an area that the district may need to address.
