Summary

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gallipolis, Ohio, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Gallipolis City School District, which is ranked 470 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.3% to 28.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Student performance on state tests is also a concern, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the upper grades. However, 5th-grade science proficiency is higher than the district and state averages. Interestingly, low-income students at Washington Elementary perform better than the overall school, with higher rankings in recent years.

Comparing Washington Elementary to nearby schools provides valuable context. Green Elementary, located just 3.47 miles away, consistently outperforms Washington Elementary on state tests and has a higher statewide ranking. Meanwhile, Rio Grande Elementary, also in the Gallipolis City district, performs similarly to Washington Elementary. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Washington Elementary, as well as nearby schools, are a significant challenge that likely contributes to the overall academic performance of the schools.
