Summary:
The Jefferson Township Local district in Ohio has only one elementary school, Blairwood Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 153 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in math proficiency.
Blairwood Elementary's academic struggles are evident in its low proficiency rates, ranging from just 4.5% in 6th grade math to 33.3% in 5th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 50.1% to 70.6%. The school's performance has also declined over the past few years, with its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 1-star to 0-star. Additionally, Blairwood faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, at 38.2%, which may be contributing to its academic underperformance.
While the reasons for Blairwood Elementary's struggles are not entirely clear, the data suggests that the school may be facing resource challenges, with per-student spending below the state average and a relatively high student-teacher ratio. Addressing these issues, as well as the academic and attendance challenges, should be a top priority for the Jefferson Township Local district in order to improve outcomes for the students at Blairwood Elementary School.
