Summary

Stevan Dohanos Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lorain, Ohio, serving 285 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Lorain City School District. Unfortunately, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from just 5.4% to 50% in math and 10.8% to 35.9% in English Language Arts.

Stevan Dohanos Elementary has particularly concerning issues, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.7% to 60.1% and low performance for female, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. The school has ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade. While the school's spending per student of $10,998 is higher than nearby Lorain City schools, its academic outcomes remain significantly worse. For comparison, Hawthorne Elementary and Washington Elementary also perform below state averages but outperform Stevan Dohanos.

Addressing the underlying issues at Stevan Dohanos Elementary School should be a priority for the district and school leadership. With high chronic absenteeism, low academic performance, and poor outcomes for key student subgroups, the school has significant room for improvement to provide a quality education for its students.
