Nelsonville-York City

The Nelsonville-York City school district consists of three schools: Nelsonville-York Elementary School, Nelsonville-York High School, and Nelsonville-York Junior High School. While the elementary school performs at or slightly below state averages in math and English Language Arts, the high school and junior high school struggle significantly, with proficiency rates well below state standards, particularly in math.

Attendance is a major concern, with the high school and junior high school both reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of 55.1% and 37.9%, respectively. This likely contributes to the low academic performance across the district. Additionally, there are disparities in spending per student, ranging from $6,948 at the junior high to $10,000 at the high school, which may indicate uneven resource allocation.

Another notable finding is the lack of racial diversity across all three schools, which are predominantly white. Exploring ways to attract and support a more diverse student body could benefit the district and provide more well-rounded educational experiences for all students. Overall, the Nelsonville-York City school district faces significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve academic outcomes and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
