Elementary Schools in Bucyrus City

There is only one elementary school located in Bucyrus City, Ohio - Bucyrus Elementary School. This school serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Bucyrus Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 1014 out of 1588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1148 out of 1577 in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio State Tests, is consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 42.5% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 64%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Despite the school's struggles, there may be opportunities for improvement. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and the school's low spending per student suggest that the school may be serving a disadvantaged student population, which could be addressed through targeted interventions and support services. By focusing on improving curriculum, instructional practices, and attendance policies, Bucyrus Elementary School may be able to raise its academic performance and better serve the needs of its students.
