Summary

Badger Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 237 students in grades PK-4 in Kinsman, Ohio, which is part of the Joseph Badger Local School District. The school has generally performed better than the state average on Ohio State Tests in both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4, with 76% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics compared to the state average of 69.1% in 2024-2025.

However, Badger Elementary School has faced some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15% to 22.4% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary (13.4% in 2024-2025). The school also has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53-57% in recent years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary (41.47% in 2023-2024). Additionally, Badger Elementary School has a higher student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.3 to 19.6, compared to some nearby schools like Bristol Elementary (14.4) and Baker Elementary (10.1).

Despite these challenges, Badger Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating relatively consistent academic performance. The school has also performed well for its special education and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 25% and top 35% of Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. While Badger Elementary School generally performs better than the nearby Pymatuning Valley Primary Elementary School on state tests, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Maplewood Elementary and Bristol Elementary.
