Summary:
The two elementary schools located in the 45406 zip code area of Dayton, Ohio, Fairview Elementary School and Rosa Parks Early Learning Center, are both struggling with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, serving a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population.
While Fairview Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of Ohio elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state tests significantly below state and district averages, Rosa Parks Early Learning Center also faces challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%. Despite higher-than-average spending per student at Fairview Elementary School, the school's performance remains poor, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution.
The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the struggles of these schools, such as socioeconomic challenges, transportation issues, or other barriers to consistent school attendance. Additionally, the presence of the Rosa Parks Early Learning Center underscores the potential importance of high-quality early childhood education in setting the foundation for future academic success in this Dayton City community.
