Paulding Exempted Village

The Paulding Exempted Village school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals a standout performer in Oakwood Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the top 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Paulding High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, earning only 2 out of 5 stars.

Oakwood Elementary's students significantly outperform the district and state averages on state assessments, with 89.2% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 75.3% for the district and 62.1% statewide. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.0%, well below the 7.1% rate at Paulding Elementary School and 18.1% at Paulding High School. However, the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, especially at Paulding High School (88.22%).

The data also reveals variations in spending per student, ranging from $7,016 at Paulding Middle School to $10,511 at Oakwood Elementary. These funding differences may contribute to the performance disparities between the schools, and further analysis would be needed to understand the impact of these resource allocations on student outcomes.
