Barnesville Exempted Village

The Barnesville Exempted Village school district in Ohio comprises three schools: Barnesville Elementary School, Barnesville Middle School, and Barnesville High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is known for its strong academic performance, particularly at the elementary level.

Barnesville Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with consistently high test scores in 3rd and 4th-grade math and English language arts, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Barnesville Middle School appears to struggle more, particularly in 5th-grade math, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state average. Barnesville High School has a mixed academic performance, with strong results in some subjects but lower proficiency rates in others.

Across the district, student demographics are relatively homogeneous, with a predominantly white student population. Attendance is also a concern, with the highest chronic absenteeism rate at the high school level. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios are generally in line with state averages, but the data suggests that the district could benefit from a closer examination of its curriculum, instructional practices, and strategies to improve student engagement and attendance, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
