Summary:
The Ironton City School District in Ohio has one elementary school, Ironton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some positive academic performance metrics, it also faces challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and uneven academic achievement across different subject areas and grade levels.
Ironton Elementary School's academic performance is a mixed bag, with the school performing above the state average in 4th and 5th grade math but lagging behind in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate is above the state average, but its 3rd grade math and ELA proficiency rates are below the state averages. This uneven performance across different subjects and grade levels suggests the school may need to focus on improving its overall academic outcomes.
Additionally, Ironton Elementary School faces challenges with student engagement and attendance, as evidenced by its high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's statewide ranking has also declined significantly, from 544 out of 1,596 schools in 2022-2023 to 917 out of 1,577 schools in 2023-2024, indicating the school may be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in Ohio. The school's relatively low spending per student of $7,769 in 2018-2019 may also be a contributing factor to its challenges.
