For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 17.8% compared to the state average of 41.2% and the district average of 30.2%. However, the school's performance in Science is relatively stronger, with a proficiency rate of 61.9% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2% and the district average of 61.3%. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students, and white students performing the poorest among the subgroups analyzed.

Comparing Stark County Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Neponset Grade School, Brimfield Grade School, and Dunlap Grade School, reveals that Stark County's performance is generally lower in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Neponset Grade School, in particular, stands out with significantly higher proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to Stark County. Despite the school's higher spending per student compared to the state average, its academic performance remains significantly below state and district levels, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's underperformance.
