Summary:
The city of Carrollton, Ohio is home to two schools: Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School and Carrollton Elementary School, both part of the Carrollton Exempted Village district. While Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School stands out as a relatively strong-performing school, Carrollton Elementary School faces some challenges.
Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School boasts a high graduation rate of 95.3% and strong performance on state tests, exceeding the state average in several subject areas. The school also maintains consistent high rankings among Ohio high schools. In contrast, Carrollton Elementary School's state-wide rankings are in the bottom 40% of Ohio elementary schools, and its performance on state tests is more mixed, with some subject areas exceeding the state average and others falling below.
The significant difference in spending per student between the two schools is noteworthy, with Carrollton Elementary School spending $20,781 per student compared to $11,797 at Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School. This higher spending at the elementary level may be an effort to provide additional resources and support, but the results do not seem to be translating into higher academic performance. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate at Carrollton High School-Carrollton Middle School is a concern that the school may need to address.
