Summary

Daw Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wellsville, Ohio, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 200 students. The school is part of the Wellsville Local District, which is ranked 588 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Daw Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 24.5% to 32.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing better than the state, while others, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, lag behind. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for White and Multi-racial students compared to other subgroups.

While Daw Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Garfield Elementary School, which is also part of the Wellsville Local District, it outperforms some other nearby schools, such as those in the East Liverpool City and Toronto City districts. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Ohio elementary schools. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and working to improve equity and academic outcomes for all students could be important priorities for Daw Elementary School and the Wellsville Local District.
