Elementary Schools in Parma City

The Parma City school district in Ohio is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools vary widely in their academic performance, with Dentzler Elementary School standing out as the top-performing school in the district. Dentzler is ranked 347 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools and has the highest 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, along with exceptional math and English proficiency rates that exceed the Parma City and state averages.

At the other end of the spectrum, schools like Thoreau Park Elementary and Ridge-Brook Elementary struggle to meet district and state benchmarks, with lower rankings, test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance, with the higher-poverty schools tending to have weaker outcomes.

Overall, the Parma City elementary schools exhibit a wide range of quality, with a few standout performers like Dentzler and Green Valley Elementary leading the way. However, the district as a whole appears to be performing slightly below the state average, indicating room for improvement in supporting all students to reach their full potential.
