Summary
Walton School is an elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 213 students. The school is part of the Cleveland Municipal school district, which is ranked 675 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Walton School faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 45.6% to 56.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also among the lowest in the state, with proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science all below 50%, and in many cases, below 25%. Walton School's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and low socioeconomic status students, are also among the lowest in the state, with many rankings in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools.
While Walton School's spending per student, at $11,978 in 2018-2019, is higher than the state average, it does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Luis Munoz Marin School, Scranton School, and Buhrer, while also part of the Cleveland Municipal district, generally perform better than Walton School on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that there may be school-specific factors contributing to Walton School's underperformance, which will require a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address.
