Summary:
The Painesville City Local school district in Ohio serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 5 schools: 3 elementary schools (Maple, Chestnut, and Elm Street), 1 middle school (Heritage), and 1 high school (Harvey High School).
Chestnut Elementary stands out as the top-performing elementary school, with the highest proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts among the district's elementary schools. Heritage Middle School also excels, achieving 100% proficiency rates in both Biology and Algebra I, far exceeding district and state averages. However, the district as a whole struggles with low academic performance on state tests, particularly in math and English, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools.
While Harvey High School boasts a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, the district's spending per student varies widely, from $7,613 at Heritage Middle School to $10,929 at Maple Elementary School. The district must address these disparities and focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly in math and English, while also tackling the high chronic absenteeism rates that likely contribute to the low performance.
