Summary:

Badger Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Kinsman, Ohio, with a student population of 245. The school is part of the Joseph Badger Local School District, which is ranked 288 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Badger Elementary faces several key challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.5% in 2019-2020 to 35.2% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Bristol Elementary (19.7%) and Maplewood Elementary (13.1%). While the school generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts, it falls below the state average in Mathematics, with only 42.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 62.1%.

Badger Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 53.06% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, higher than the rates of nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary (32.54%) and Lakeview Elementary (unknown). The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting the need for a closer examination of instructional practices, support systems, and the unique needs of the school's student population.

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.
