Shawnee Elementary School

Summary:

Shawnee Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, Ohio, serving 1,010 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Clark-Shawnee Local School District, which is ranked 265 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shawnee Elementary generally outperforms the nearby Springfield City School District schools and the state average in Ohio State Tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Shawnee's 3rd-6th grade math proficiency rates ranged from 64.1% to 72%, compared to the state average of 50.1% to 62.1%. The school also ranks 1st out of 128 Ohio elementary schools for its gifted and talented student program, indicating a strong focus on advanced academics. However, Shawnee has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.6% in 2019-2020 to 23% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern.

While Shawnee Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (46.04% free/reduced lunch recipients), its performance varies across different student subgroups. The school ranks highly for its African American and multi-racial students, but struggles with its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Ohio elementary schools. This contrast highlights the need for the school and district to focus on supporting all students, regardless of their background or needs.

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.
