Summary:
The Lowellville Local school district in Ohio consists of two schools: Lowellville Elementary School and Lowellville High School. While Lowellville Elementary School has consistently performed well, with test scores above the state average and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Lowellville High School has struggled in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping and test scores generally below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics.
Lowellville Elementary School stands out as the stronger of the two schools, with a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and a history of ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools. In contrast, Lowellville High School has faced declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 377 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 568 out of 864 in 2023-2024. The high school also struggles with Mathematics, with only 31% and 26.7% of 7th and 8th grade students, respectively, scoring proficient or better on the state tests.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as Lowellville High School has a significantly higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (82.95%) compared to the unknown percentage at the elementary school. Addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable resource allocation across the district could be key priorities for the Lowellville Local school district's leadership.
