Washington Park Community School

Washington Park Community School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Washington Park Community School District in Newburgh Heights, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 173 students, the school has a diverse student population that is predominantly White (61.85%), with significant percentages of African American (19.08%) and Hispanic (13.29%) students.

Despite its diverse student body, Washington Park Community School has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of Ohio elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 1-star rating out of 5. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is generally well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 50% in mathematics and 15.4% to 50% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 46.3% to 67.2% in mathematics and 49.4% to 70.6% in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 83.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The data suggests that Washington Park Community School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low rankings, poor academic performance, and high chronic absenteeism rate indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. While the school serves a diverse student population, it appears to be constrained by limited resources, as evidenced by its below-average spending per student and relatively high student-teacher ratio.
