Summary:
The Howland Local school district in Ohio is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Based on the available data, Mines Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently achieving higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages.
Mines Elementary has a slightly more diverse student population than the other two schools, Howland Glen Elementary School and Howland Springs Elementary School, and also boasts a lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1. In contrast, Howland Glen has the highest student-teacher ratio at 24.8:1. Additionally, Mines Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools.
While all three schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 37.62% to 42.13%, Mines Elementary's academic performance suggests it may be the most effective in delivering quality education to its students. However, the lack of historical test score data for Howland Glen and Howland Springs makes it difficult to fully assess their long-term academic trajectories and compare them to Mines Elementary.
