Summary:
The Dawson-Bryant Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: Dawson-Bryant Elementary School, Dawson-Bryant Middle School, and Dawson-Bryant High School. The district's performance is marked by a significant gap, with the elementary school being a standout performer and the high school struggling to meet state standards.
Dawson-Bryant Elementary School consistently achieves high proficiency rates on state assessments, ranking in the top 275 elementary schools in Ohio. In contrast, Dawson-Bryant High School has consistently low performance on end-of-course exams, ranking in the bottom 30% of Ohio high schools. Dawson-Bryant Middle School falls somewhere in the middle, with performance above the state average but below the elementary school.
The district's demographics also raise concerns, with the student population being overwhelmingly white (98.96%) at Dawson-Bryant Elementary School. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, suggest the district should investigate the root causes and implement strategies to improve attendance. While the district's spending per student is relatively even across the schools, the performance disparities indicate that simply spending more may not be the solution, and the district should explore ways to target resources more effectively.
