Elementary Schools in Mathews Local

The Mathews Local school district in Ohio is home to two elementary schools: Currie Elementary School and Baker Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are ranked in the middle of the state's elementary schools.

While both schools are performing reasonably well, Baker Elementary School stands out as a top performer within the Mathews Local district. Baker Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 75% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to 63.4% statewide. Additionally, Baker Elementary has a more detailed statewide ranking history, placing it in the top third of Ohio elementary schools.

Despite the differences in academic performance, both Currie Elementary School and Baker Elementary School face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 22.1% for both schools. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($13,656 at Currie Elementary and $9,318 at Baker Elementary) does not seem to directly correlate with their academic performance, as the lower-spending Baker Elementary outperforms the higher-spending Currie Elementary.
