Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single public elementary school, Williamsport Elementary School, located in the 47993 zip code. Serving grades K-6, the school has an enrollment of 221 students and is part of the MSD Warren County district.
Williamsport Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with over 93% of students identifying as white. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by ILEARN proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall English Language Arts proficiency rate was 31.62%, compared to 38.51% for the district and 38.6% for the state. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rate was 25.64%, lower than the district's 35.37% and the state's 52.4%.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4 to 1 and per-student spending of $10,468 for the 2021-2022 school year, which is on par with the district, Williamsport Elementary School faces challenges in effectively educating its students and meeting academic standards. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7% in the 2022-2023 school year is also a metric to monitor, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's resource allocation, instructional practices, and strategies to address chronic absenteeism could provide valuable insights to help improve student performance.
