Summary:
The city of Bellville, Ohio is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Clear Fork High School, Bellville Elementary School, and Clear Fork Middle School. While the schools share the same geographic area, the data reveals significant differences in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Of the three schools, Bellville Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools and maintaining a consistent 4-star rating. The school excels in state test scores, with 5th-grade students scoring well above the state average in science, math, and English language arts. In contrast, Clear Fork High School and Clear Fork Middle School perform in the middle range statewide, with mixed academic results and fluctuating ratings.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics, funding, and resources across the schools. Bellville Elementary has a more diverse student population, while the other two schools are predominantly white. Additionally, Bellville Elementary spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure equity across all Clear Fork Valley Local schools.
