Summary:
The Bloom-Carroll Local school district in Ohio is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Bloom Carroll Intermediate School and Bloom Carroll Primary School. Both schools are rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing them in the top half of elementary schools statewide, and Bloom Carroll Intermediate School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools over the past several years.
Academically, the two schools excel, with proficiency rates on state tests that far exceed state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, Bloom Carroll Intermediate School had 82.3% of 5th graders proficient in science, compared to a 64% state average, and 87.5% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA, compared to a 64.5% state average. The schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios and per-student spending that is higher than the state average, suggesting a strong investment in resources.
However, the student populations at both schools are predominantly white, with relatively low percentages of minority students compared to state averages. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to address. Additionally, while the chronic absenteeism rates at both schools are lower than the state average, the higher rate at Bloom Carroll Primary School (13.6%) compared to Bloom Carroll Intermediate School (10.0%) is a potential concern that the district should investigate further.
