Miami Trace Elementary School

Summary:

Miami Trace Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 1,157 students in grades PK-5 in Washington Court House, Ohio. The school is part of the Washington Court House City school district, which is ranked 236 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miami Trace Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 85% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2019-2020 to 21.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and most nearby schools. While Miami Trace performs well for some student subgroups, it struggles with others, such as special education and disabled students.

Compared to nearby schools, Miami Trace Elementary generally outperforms in test scores and overall school rankings, but lags behind in areas like chronic absenteeism and subgroup performance. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 369 out of 1,636 schools in 2017-2018 to 500 out of 1,577 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be facing challenges in maintaining its high level of performance. With a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, socioeconomic factors could be contributing to the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates and uneven subgroup performance.

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.
