Summary:
The Elyria City Schools district in Ohio has only one high school, Elyria High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data analysis reveals that Elyria High School faces several challenges, including academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a student population with significant socioeconomic disadvantages.
Elyria High School's academic performance, as measured by Ohio State Test scores, is consistently below the state average across multiple subject areas, including American Government, American History, Biology, English II, Geometry, and Algebra I. The school's graduation rate of 84.3% is also below the state average. Additionally, Elyria High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and may contribute to the school's academic challenges.
The data also shows that 61.87% of Elyria High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's per-student spending is slightly below the state average, its student-teacher ratio of 17.2 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure that Elyria High School has the necessary funding and staffing to support student success. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for the district to prioritize addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on improving instructional quality and student engagement.
