Summary

Waggoner Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Reynoldsburg, Ohio, serving 712 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Reynoldsburg City School District, which is ranked 558 out of 828 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Waggoner Road Elementary faces several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.7% to 30.6% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Rose Hill Elementary (30.2%), Summit Road Elementary (30.2%), and Herbert Mills Elementary (30.2%). The school's student performance on state tests in mathematics and English Language Arts is also lower than the Reynoldsburg City and state averages, though its 5th grade science proficiency rates are higher than the district average.

Waggoner Road Elementary has a high percentage of students (71.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (19.7) and lower per-student spending ($8,875 in 2018-2019) than the nearby schools, which could be limiting the resources available to support student learning. However, the school's performance in certain areas, such as 5th grade science proficiency, suggests that it has the potential to improve with the right interventions and support.
