Summary:
The 45859 zip code area has only one elementary school, Upper Scioto Valley Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has faced some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate and inconsistent academic performance across grade levels.
Upper Scioto Valley Elementary School has an enrollment of 231 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (89.61%) and a smaller percentage of Hispanic students (5.19%). The school's state-wide ranking has consistently been in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While some grade levels, such as 3rd grade English Language Arts, perform above the state average, others, like 5th grade science, fall well below the state's proficiency levels.
One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This can have a significant impact on student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.4 is slightly lower than the state average, suggesting that staffing resources may not be the primary factor affecting student outcomes. The school's spending per student of $10,498 is in line with the state average, indicating that funding may not be the sole driver of the school's performance challenges. The Upper Scioto Valley Local district should closely examine the factors contributing to the school's mixed academic performance and high absenteeism rates to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
