Summary:
The 45744 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Lowell Elementary School, which serves students from the Fort Frye Local district. With a predominantly white student population and a high percentage of students from low-income families, Lowell Elementary faces unique challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and addressing the needs of its community.
Lowell Elementary's academic performance has been mixed, with exceptional 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency but below-average 3rd-grade Math and ELA scores compared to state and district averages. The school's state-wide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the past three years, ranging from 286 out of 1,588 Ohio elementary schools to 722 out of 1,610, indicating inconsistent academic achievement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3% is higher than the state average, which may contribute to the challenges in maintaining consistent student performance.
Despite the school's academic challenges, Lowell Elementary has some positive attributes, such as a student-teacher ratio that is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 ratio for elementary schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $10,202 is slightly above the state average, suggesting a commitment to providing resources for its students. However, the lack of diversity in the student population may limit the school's ability to prepare students for the realities of an increasingly diverse world, and the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a predominantly low-income community, which can present unique challenges in terms of access to resources and student readiness for learning.
