Summary:
The Perkins Local school district in Ohio is home to two elementary schools: Furry Elementary School and Meadowlawn Elementary School. While both schools serve students in grades K-5, Perkins Local district data suggests that Meadowlawn Elementary is a standout performer, with stronger academic achievement, higher school rankings, and more efficient resource allocation compared to its counterpart.
Meadowlawn Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in key academic areas, such as 5th grade science, 4th grade math, and 5th grade English language arts. The school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Ohio elementary schools. Additionally, Meadowlawn spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Furry Elementary, which may contribute to its academic success.
While the two schools have some demographic differences, with Furry Elementary serving a higher percentage of Hispanic students, both maintain relatively low chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests a positive school climate across the district. By exploring the factors behind Meadowlawn's strong performance, the district may be able to identify best practices that could be shared to improve outcomes at Furry Elementary and throughout the Perkins Local school system.
