Minerva Elementary School

Summary:

Minerva Elementary School is a public elementary school in Minerva, Ohio, serving 814 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Minerva Local School District, which is ranked 365 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minerva Elementary School generally performs well, with students scoring better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, 86.7% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 67.2%. However, the school faces challenges with a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.1% in 2019-2020 to 29.6% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Louisville Elementary School and North Nimishillen Elementary School.

Minerva Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 45.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. This may contribute to the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of this student population. While the school performs well for its male students, its performance for white students and disabled students is lower compared to other Ohio elementary schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
