Summary:
Constellation Schools: Lorain Community Elementary is the sole elementary school in the Constellation Schools district located in Lorain, Ohio. This school serves students from grades K-4 and has an enrollment of 142 students with a diverse racial makeup, including 23.94% White, 24.65% African American, 40.85% Hispanic, and 10.56% two or more races.
While the school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on the 2023-2024 Ohio State Tests falling well below the state averages in both math and English language arts, the challenges extend beyond just test scores. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 55.7% is alarmingly high, and the high student-to-teacher ratio of 244.8 suggests that the school may be facing resource challenges that could be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,879 for the 2018-2019 school year is relatively low, which could further exacerbate the challenges faced by the school and its students.
Overall, Constellation Schools: Lorain Community Elementary appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its diverse student population. Addressing the academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and resource challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach involving the school leadership, teachers, parents, and the broader Constellation Schools community.
