Summary:
The city of Oberlin, Kansas is home to two schools: Oberlin Elementary and Decatur Community Junior/Senior High. While both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings and ratings over the past three years, they each demonstrate unique strengths and areas for improvement.
Oberlin Elementary stands out for its strong performance in 6th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Mathematics, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate socioeconomic challenges. In contrast, Decatur Community Junior/Senior High has demonstrated strong performance in 10th grade English Language Arts and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also reveals significant differences between the two schools, such as student-teacher ratios and spending per student. Decatur Community Junior/Senior High has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to Oberlin Elementary, but this does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Overall, the schools in Oberlin present a complex picture, with both strengths and areas for improvement that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions.
