Elementary Schools in Barberton City

The Barberton City school district in Ohio has two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, the Barberton Primary School and Barberton Intermediate School are performing at an average level compared to other elementary schools in the state, with no clear standout in terms of exceptional performance.

Both schools have similar student demographics, with a majority White student population and significant representation of African American and Hispanic students. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, around 74% at Barberton Intermediate, indicates a significant population of students from low-income households, which can present additional challenges for the schools. Additionally, the schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, around 27-29%, which may be contributing to their academic performance.

In terms of academic achievement, the schools' proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are relatively low compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. This suggests there may be room for improvement in student learning outcomes. The schools also have below-average spending per student, which may limit the resources available to support student learning and address the schools' needs. Overall, the data indicates that the Barberton City elementary schools face some challenges in ensuring equitable access to educational opportunities and resources for all students.
