Summary

Paint Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bainbridge, Ohio, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 370 students. The school is part of the Paint Valley Local School District, which is ranked 535 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paint Valley Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student performance, attendance, and resource allocation. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.2% to 31.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Waverly Primary (26.4%), Unioto Elementary (25.1%), and Greenfield Elementary (16.0%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts that are 10-20 percentage points lower than the state averages.

Paint Valley Elementary also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.53% to 93.24% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools. The school's student-teacher ratio is also relatively high, ranging from 20.6 to 23.1 over the past few years, higher than the ratios of nearby schools. These factors suggest that the school may face unique challenges in serving its predominantly low-income student population, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
