National Road

Summary:

National Road Elementary School is a public school serving 335 students in grades PK-6 in Zanesville, Ohio, which is part of the Zanesville City School District. While the school generally outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics, it faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism and a declining statewide ranking among Ohio elementary schools.

National Road has a notably higher percentage of white students (78.21%) compared to the state average, and its performance varies across different student subgroups. Interestingly, female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds tend to perform better than their male and white counterparts, respectively. The school's per-student spending of $9,220 in 2018-2019 was higher than the $7,359 spent per student at the nearby Foxfire Intermediate School, a public charter school that serves a more racially diverse student population.

While National Road has some strengths, such as its relatively strong academic performance in mathematics and the support it provides to students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school also faces challenges, including a concerning trend in chronic absenteeism, fluctuations in student-teacher ratio, and a declining statewide ranking. Addressing these issues and continuing to support the diverse needs of its student population will be crucial for the school's future success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
