Summary:
Heir Force Community School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Heir Force Community School district in Lima, Ohio. With a total enrollment of 238 students, the school has a diverse student population but has consistently struggled to perform at a high level, ranking in the bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools for the past three years and maintaining a 1-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school faces significant challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7% and standardized test scores that are generally well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the school does show some pockets of stronger performance, such as in 5th grade Math and ELA, suggesting the potential for improvement if the school can identify and replicate the factors contributing to these relatively better results. With a high student-teacher ratio of 39.6 to 1, resource allocation may also be a contributing factor to the school's struggles.
Despite the school's persistent low performance, the diverse student population at Heir Force Community School highlights the importance of ensuring equitable educational opportunities and outcomes for all students, regardless of their background. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve student outcomes and support the success of this community school.
