Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Alliance, Ohio, serving 257 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Marlington Local School District, which is ranked 340 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Elementary consistently performs above the state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 85.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the Marlington Local score of 68.1% and the Ohio state score of 64%. However, the school has seen fluctuations in chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.8% in 2019-2020 to 21.6% in 2021-2022, with the most recent rate of 13.5% in 2022-2023 still higher than the state average. Additionally, Washington Elementary has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.4 in 2020-2021 to 20.8 in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby schools like Marlboro Elementary and East Canton Elementary School.

While Washington Elementary's academic performance is strong, the school serves a significant percentage of students (46.69%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Minerva Elementary School and Lexington Elementary School. This suggests the school may need to explore strategies to better support the unique needs of its student population and address the fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
