Wilson Vance Elementary School

Summary:

Wilson Vance Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 399 students in grades 3-5 in Findlay, Ohio, which is part of the Findlay City School District. While the school has generally performed well on state assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding state averages, it has faced some challenges in recent years, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism and uneven performance across different student subgroups.

One of the key strengths of Wilson Vance Elementary is its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students compared to nearby schools. However, the school has struggled with supporting its Special Education and English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio schools for these subgroups. Additionally, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 207th out of 1,676 Ohio elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 602nd out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, which may indicate a need for improvement in the school's overall performance.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Liberty-Benton Elementary and Chamberlin Hill Elementary, Wilson Vance has higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower proficiency rates in certain areas. By learning from the best practices of these high-performing schools and addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population, Wilson Vance can work to improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.

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.
