Summary:
The city of Groveport, Ohio is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this district serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the board.
While the elementary schools in Groveport generally perform better on state tests and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, the middle and high schools in the district struggle significantly. Groveport Madison High School and the two Groveport Madison Middle Schools rank in the bottom 25% of Ohio schools in their respective categories, with low proficiency rates and high rates of chronic absenteeism exceeding 30%. The Groveport Community School, a public charter elementary/middle school, also stands out with the lowest statewide ranking and high rates of chronic absenteeism and low proficiency.
Across the district, there appear to be significant equity concerns, with some schools serving a majority African American student population and struggling academically. Addressing the academic and attendance challenges in Groveport will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers both educational and socioeconomic factors. The Groveport Madison Local and Groveport Community School districts, as well as the Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools, will need to work together to address these challenges and ensure all students in Groveport have access to a high-quality education.
