Summary:
The Washington-Nile Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the district's schools have some bright spots, they generally underperform compared to state averages across a range of metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings.
The standout school in the district is Portsmouth West Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools and outperforms the state and district averages in 3rd and 4th grade math and 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Portsmouth West Middle School struggles more, with proficiency rates below state averages in math across grades 5-8, despite performing well in 8th grade science.
Across the district, the schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 90.79% to 94.57% white students. Chronic absenteeism rates are also high, ranging from 30.9% to 33.1%. Additionally, there are funding disparities, with the high school spending significantly more per student ($10,042) compared to the middle ($7,941) and elementary ($8,082) schools. Addressing these challenges, including underperformance, lack of diversity, and chronic absenteeism, could be key focus areas for the Washington-Nile Local school district to improve student outcomes.
