Summary:
The city of West Alexandria, Ohio is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Twin Valley Community Local district. While the schools share some common strengths, such as low chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
The standout school in the area is Twin Valley South Elementary School, which consistently achieves high test scores, with 80.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, and strong performance in Math and English Language Arts across grade levels. The elementary school also boasts a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.8% compared to the state average. In contrast, the secondary schools in the district, Twin Valley South High School and Twin Valley South Middle School, face more challenges, with mixed test scores and lower proficiency rates in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the high school has a very high rate of 98.58% free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting the student population faces significant economic challenges. Additionally, the schools all have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 96.18% to 97.63%, which may impact the diversity of perspectives and experiences represented in the schools. The variation in spending per student, from $9,260 at the elementary school to $12,138 at the middle school, also indicates potential funding inequities that could influence the resources and opportunities available to students across the different school levels.
