Summary

Beechwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Whitehall, Ohio, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 481 students. The school is part of the Whitehall City School District, which is ranked 642 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beechwood Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1193 to 1497 out of over 1,600 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Beechwood Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of student attendance, with very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.4% to 37.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are consistently well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Comparisons to nearby schools, such as Etna Road Elementary School and Kae Avenue Elementary School, as well as higher-performing schools outside the district, like Cassingham Elementary School, highlight the significant achievement gaps and challenges faced by Beechwood Elementary School. While the school's per-student spending of $8,215 is higher than some lower-performing schools, it suggests that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges, and a deeper analysis of how resources are being utilized and the effectiveness of current programs and interventions may be necessary.
