Summary:
The 45056 zip code area is home to three elementary schools: Kramer Elementary School, Bogan Elementary, and Maude Marshall Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Talawanda City school district.
Kramer Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the group, with students scoring above the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. In contrast, Bogan Elementary appears to be the weakest performer, with lower test scores across the board and the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 23.1%. Maude Marshall Elementary School falls somewhere in the middle, with test scores generally above the district and state averages but not quite as strong as Kramer's.
The differences in student demographics, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation among the three schools may contribute to the observed performance gaps. Kramer Elementary has the most diverse student population, while Bogan Elementary and Maude Marshall Elementary have student bodies that are over 90% white. Additionally, Kramer has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, while Bogan has the lowest rate. These factors, along with differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggest the need for a more in-depth examination of the underlying causes and potential strategies for addressing the observed disparities.
