Summary:
Washington Park Community School is the only elementary school located in the Newburgh Heights, Ohio area, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 173 students. Based on the available data, this school is performing well below the state average and faces significant challenges in providing a quality education for its students.
Compared to other Ohio elementary schools, Washington Park Community School is ranked 1391 out of 1577 and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with the highest proficiency rate being 50% in 5th grade English Language Arts, which is still well below the state average of 70.6%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 83.4%, which is a major concern and likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes.
The data also suggests that Washington Park Community School may be underfunded and understaffed, with a per-student spending of $6,742 (below the state average) and a student-teacher ratio of 19.2, which is higher than the recommended ratio for effective instruction. These resource constraints, combined with the school's low performance and high absenteeism, indicate that significant improvements are needed to provide a quality education for the students in this community.
