Summary:
The 45410 zip code area in Ohio is home to 3 elementary schools serving grades K-8: Emerson Academy, Ruskin Elementary School, and Dayton SMART Elementary School. While Emerson Academy stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, the other two schools, Ruskin Elementary School and Dayton SMART Elementary School, face significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student engagement.
Emerson Academy, a public charter school, has the highest student enrollment and the highest state-wide ranking among the three schools, though it is still in the bottom 25% of Ohio elementary schools. The school boasts relatively higher test scores, with 8th-grade math proficiency at 60%, exceeding the state average. In contrast, Ruskin Elementary School and Dayton SMART Elementary School struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects, as well as higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The disparities in school performance suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a significant role, as the schools with higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students tend to have lower test scores and rankings. Additionally, the funding levels vary considerably, with Ruskin Elementary School spending the most per student and Dayton SMART Elementary School spending the least, indicating that funding alone may not be the sole determinant of school performance.
