Oberlin City Schools

The Oberlin City Schools district in Ohio consists of three schools: Oberlin Elementary School, Oberlin High School, and Langston Middle School. The data analysis reveals a mixed picture for the district, with some standout performance at the middle school level but room for improvement, particularly at the high school.

Langston Middle School stands out as a high-performing school, with consistently high proficiency rates on state tests, a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, and a high student-teacher ratio indicating smaller class sizes. In contrast, Oberlin High School struggles with lower proficiency rates in key subjects like Geometry and Algebra I, which are below the state averages, and has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 24.2%.

The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Oberlin High School having the highest per-student spending at $12,370, while Oberlin Elementary School spends $9,718 per student. The diverse student populations in the Oberlin City Schools district present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the needs of all learners, and understanding the unique needs and strengths of the different student groups could inform targeted interventions and support.
