Ironton City School District

The Ironton City School District in Ohio operates three schools: Ironton Elementary School, Ironton High School, and Ironton Middle School. The district's schools have a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Ironton Middle School standing out as the highest-performing school in the district.

Ironton Middle School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in various subject areas, including an impressive 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I. In contrast, Ironton Elementary School has seen a decline in its ranking, despite maintaining a 3-star rating, which may warrant further investigation. Additionally, all three schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.2% to 31.2%, which could be impacting overall academic performance.

The district also shows disparities in spending per student, with Ironton High School receiving the highest amount at $9,601 per student, compared to $8,476 for Ironton Middle School and $7,769 for Ironton Elementary School. Addressing these funding disparities and the chronic absenteeism concerns could help the Ironton City School District improve overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all students.
