Summary:
The 45506 zip code area in Ohio is home to 4 elementary schools, with no middle or high schools represented in the data. These schools face significant educational challenges, with wide performance gaps compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.
Among the standout schools, Springfield Sports Academy, a public charter elementary school, has some promising academic performance, with 40% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math and 20% in English Language Arts. However, it also has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 76.2%, far exceeding the other schools in the area. In contrast, Perrin Woods Elementary School, a public elementary, has stronger academic performance, with 3rd-6th grade proficiency rates generally higher than the Springfield City School District and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Across these schools, chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with Fulton Elementary and Perrin Woods both reporting 39% chronic absenteeism in 2024-2025. Test scores also reveal significant performance gaps, with the schools scoring far below state averages in subjects like 5th grade science and 3rd-6th grade Math. The data suggests these schools may be facing resource constraints, with per-student spending below the state average. Addressing chronic absenteeism, boosting core academic skills, and providing targeted interventions will be critical to improving outcomes for students in this community.
