Summary:
The 45410 zip code area of Dayton, Ohio is home to three elementary schools: Emerson Academy, Ruskin Elementary School, and Dayton SMART Elementary School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th or 8th grade and exhibit significant differences in academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics.
Emerson Academy, a public charter school, stands out as the highest-performing of the three, with the best state-wide ranking, highest proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, and a majority African American student population. However, it also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 45.8%. In contrast, Dayton SMART Elementary School, another public charter, has the lowest state-wide ranking, poorest academic outcomes, and the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 53.6%. Ruskin Elementary School, a public school, has a more diverse student body and moderate academic performance, but the highest spending per student at $11,104.
The data reveals stark disparities in educational outcomes among these schools, with Emerson Academy significantly outperforming the other two. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 37.3% to 53.6%, are a significant concern and may be contributing to the low academic performance observed. These findings highlight the challenges faced by the elementary schools in the 45410 zip code and the need for targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve educational opportunities for students in this community.
