Elgin Elementary School

Summary:

Elgin Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marion, Ohio, serving around 490 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Elgin Local School District, which is ranked 472 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elgin Elementary School has some notable strengths, such as a strong gifted and talented program that ranks among the top 35 schools in Ohio. The school also generally performs better than the state average in 5th-grade science and 4th-grade mathematics. However, it lags behind the state average in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and 5th-grade mathematics. Additionally, Elgin Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2019-2020 to 36.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and nearby schools like Heritage Elementary and North Union Elementary.

Despite its strong gifted and talented program, Elgin Elementary's overall statewide ranking has been declining, from 657 out of 1,636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 781 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.31% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Additionally, Elgin Elementary's performance for special education and disabled students is relatively lower compared to the state average and nearby schools, indicating a need for improvement in supporting these student populations.

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.
