Summary

Preble Shawnee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Camden, Ohio, with 514 students. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores, and significant performance gaps for student subgroups.

Preble Shawnee Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 15.5% to 25.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the Ohio State Tests are also generally below the state averages, especially in math, with only 56.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 64.4%. Additionally, Preble Shawnee's student subgroups, such as white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, perform significantly worse than the state averages for those subgroups.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Madison Elementary, which is about 13 miles away, Preble Shawnee generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student-teacher ratios. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 1,336 out of 1,501 Ohio elementary schools in 2004-2005 to 963 out of 1,558 in 2024-2025, suggests a concerning trend of declining academic performance that the school may need to address through targeted interventions and strategies.
