Summary:
The city of Willow Wood, Ohio is home to two schools: Symmes Valley Elementary School and Symmes Valley High School, both part of the Symmes Valley Local district. While Symmes Valley Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and math, Symmes Valley High School faces challenges in meeting proficiency standards on state tests.
Symmes Valley Elementary School boasts impressive proficiency rates on state tests, often exceeding state averages in subjects like science and math. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.8% is an area of concern that may require targeted interventions to improve student attendance. In contrast, Symmes Valley High School lags behind its elementary counterpart, with proficiency rates below the state average in most subjects and end-of-course exams. The high school's 100% four-year graduation rate is a bright spot, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 25% is an issue that needs to be addressed.
The significant difference in student performance between the elementary and high school suggests a need for further investigation into factors such as curriculum alignment, instructional practices, and student support systems. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school ($10,816) compared to the elementary school ($9,157) may indicate a need to evaluate the allocation of resources and ensure equitable distribution across the district. Overall, the data provides valuable insights for the Symmes Valley Local district to focus on and address in order to support student success across all grade levels.
