Summary

Wilson Vance Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 396 students in grades 3-5 in Findlay, Ohio, which is part of the Findlay City School District. The school generally performs better than the district and state averages on the Ohio State Tests, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, suggesting it may be struggling to keep up with improvements in other schools across the state.

Compared to nearby elementary schools in the district, Chamberlin Hill Elementary and Bigelow Hill Elementary have similar or better test scores, but lower chronic absenteeism rates than Wilson Vance. The school's higher spending per student and relatively strong performance for some subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggest there may be opportunities to leverage its resources and best practices to improve outcomes for all students, particularly in areas where the school is underperforming, such as for Special Education and Disabled students.

Overall, Wilson Vance Elementary School is a solid performing school within the Findlay City School District, but it faces some challenges in maintaining its performance over time and addressing disparities among student subgroups. Continued focus on improving attendance, supporting struggling student populations, and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools could help the school enhance its overall effectiveness.
