Summary:

Russellville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 259 students in grades PK-5 in Russellville, Ohio, which is part of the Eastern Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across multiple grade levels and subjects, with 90.5% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Mathematics compared to 74.7% for the district and 62.1% for the state.

Russellville Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.6 to 18.5 over the past 3 years, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.8% in 2019-2020 to 23.4% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.72% in 2022-2023, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School, Bright Elementary School, and Manchester Elementary School, Russellville Elementary School generally outperforms them in academic metrics, despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests the school is effectively supporting its students and may have best practices that could be shared with other schools in the region.

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.
