Summary

Cox Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Xenia, Ohio, serving 227 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Xenia Community City District, which is ranked 416 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Cox Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a ranking between 927 and 1240 out of over 1,500 schools.

Cox Elementary has had consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 32.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like McKinley Elementary (29.1%) and Tecumseh Elementary (29.1%). Additionally, the school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are generally below the Xenia Community City district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Despite being located in the same district, Cox Elementary is significantly underperforming compared to nearby schools like McKinley Elementary, Tecumseh Elementary, and Shawnee Elementary, which have higher rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that Cox Elementary may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed.
