Summary:
The city of Franklin Furnace, Ohio is home to two schools: Green High School and Green Elementary School, both part of the Green Local District. While Green High School stands out as a strong performer, with high graduation rates and above-average state test scores, Green Elementary School appears to be struggling, with lower proficiency rates compared to state and district averages.
Green High School boasts a 97.2% four-year graduation rate and generally outperforms the state and district on state assessments, particularly in Science, American History, and English Language Arts. In contrast, Green Elementary School lags behind in math and English Language Arts proficiency. The high school also has a more favorable student-teacher ratio and lower chronic absenteeism rate, which may contribute to its academic success.
While both schools have a predominantly white student population, the data suggests that factors beyond just racial demographics, such as funding and resource allocation, may be driving the performance gap between the two institutions. Addressing the challenges faced by Green Elementary School, particularly in improving core academic skills, could be a key focus area for the Green Local District to ensure all students in the community receive a high-quality education.
