Elementary Schools in Elgin Local

The Elgin Local district contains a single elementary school, Elgin Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and has a student population of 490. This school stands out as a relatively strong performer within the district, with high proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, particularly in science and math, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger that places it in the top half of Ohio elementary schools.

Elgin Elementary School faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.2% that is higher than the state average, and a student population that is predominantly white (91.43%) with a high percentage (over 55%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic needs. The school's per-student spending of $9,399 for the 2018-2019 school year is in line with the state average, but the high level of economic disadvantage among its students may require additional support and resources to address issues like attendance and access to educational opportunities.

Overall, Elgin Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school within the Elgin Local district, with a focus on academic achievement, particularly in science and math. However, the school also faces challenges related to demographic homogeneity and economic disadvantage that may require targeted interventions to ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.
