Summary:
The data set provided information about a single public elementary school, Buckskin Elementary School, located in the 45681 zip code and serving grades K-5. With an enrollment of 196 students, Buckskin Elementary has a predominantly white student population and serves a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Buckskin Elementary's performance on Ohio state tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade Math and English Language Arts generally on par with or slightly below the Greenfield Exempted Village district and state averages. However, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was significantly higher than the district and state averages in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 682 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 871 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024.
One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is a metric to monitor. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity, with 96.94% of students identifying as white, may be an area to explore further. Overall, the analysis of this single-school data set highlights the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance, challenges, and opportunities for improvement, particularly in the context of the broader district and state-level trends.
