Joshua Dixon Elementary School

Summary:

Joshua Dixon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbiana, Ohio, serving 402 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Columbiana Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 63 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joshua Dixon Elementary consistently performs well on state assessments, with 91.4% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics and 88.6% proficient or better in English Language Arts, significantly exceeding the state averages. The school also ranks exceptionally high for its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations. However, the school has seen a notable increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.1% in 2019-2020 to 19.7% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern the school may need to address.

Compared to nearby schools, Joshua Dixon Elementary generally outperforms in academic achievement, but some schools, such as Buckeye Elementary and Leetonia Elementary K-6, have higher spending per student and more diverse student populations. The school's consistent high performance and exceptional support for specific student groups suggest it is providing a quality education, but the increase in chronic absenteeism is an issue the school should investigate and address.

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.
