Summary:
The Gallipolis City school district in Ohio is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the data analysis, Green Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from School Digger. In contrast, Washington Elementary School and Rio Grande Elementary School appear to be performing below the district and state averages in several key areas.
Green Elementary School's standout performance is evident in its significantly higher proficiency rates in both math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 93.9% of 5th-grade students at Green Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district average of 74% and the state average of 70.6%. Additionally, Green Elementary has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the three schools at 17.1%, indicating a strong focus on student attendance and engagement.
The data also reveals disparities in the schools' demographics and socioeconomic factors. Gallipolis City schools have varying racial compositions, with Green Elementary and Rio Grande Elementary having a higher percentage of white students compared to Washington Elementary. Furthermore, Washington Elementary serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.59% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 44.63% at Green Elementary and 50.76% at Rio Grande Elementary. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the schools.
