Summary:
The city of Willowick, Ohio is home to two schools: Royalview Elementary School and Willowick Middle School, both part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City school district. While the schools share some demographic similarities, they exhibit notable differences in academic performance and resource allocation.
Royalview Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 5th grade science and 3rd-5th grade math and English language arts, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the middle school. Additionally, the elementary school benefits from higher per-student spending, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. In contrast, Willowick Middle School excels in Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course exams, but trails both the district and state averages in 6th-8th grade math and English language arts proficiency.
The data also reveals a significant disparity in chronic absenteeism rates, with Willowick Middle School experiencing a much higher rate of 34.1% compared to Royalview Elementary School's 21.6%. This difference may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance at the middle school level. Overall, the insights highlight the need for further investigation into the factors driving the disparities between these two schools within the Willoughby-Eastlake City school district.
