Spencerville Local

The Spencerville Local school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Spencerville Elementary School, Spencerville Middle School, and Spencerville High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with enrollment ranging from 278 to 344 students across the three schools.

Spencerville Elementary School stands out as the district's top performer, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Ohio and earning a 5-star rating. The school's exceptional test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in math and English Language Arts, significantly exceed state averages. In contrast, the district's middle and high schools face challenges, such as higher chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level (23.8%).

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Spencerville Elementary School reporting an extremely high rate of 99.13% free or reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests the district may be facing significant economic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending across the schools, with the high school receiving the most funding, indicate a need to examine the district's resource allocation and ensure equitable funding.
