Manchester Elementary School

Summary:

Manchester Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 348 students in grades PK-6 in Manchester, Ohio. The school is part of the Manchester Local School District, which is ranked 455 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's relatively low ranking, Manchester Elementary School has consistently outperformed the state and local averages in several subject areas on the Ohio State Tests. For example, in 2023-2024, 85.4% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 70.6%. The school has also performed relatively well for its special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking 383 out of 900 Ohio elementary schools for special education students and 437 out of 1,484 for low SES students.

However, Manchester Elementary School has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 13.0% in 2020-2021 to 29.3% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the surrounding schools like Peebles Elementary School, North Adams Elementary School, Russellville Elementary School, Ripley Union Lewis Huntington Elementary School, and West Union Elementary School. This is an area of concern that the school and Manchester Local School District should address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
