Belpre Elementary School

Summary:

Belpre Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 497 students in grades K-6 in Belpre, Ohio, which is part of the Belpre City School District. The school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races.

One key area of concern for Belpre Elementary School is its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.6% to 34.6% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on Ohio state tests, is generally below the state average across most grade levels and subject areas, though the school does perform better than the state average in some areas, such as 4th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, but less so for its Female, Male, and White student subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Eastern Elementary School, Waterford Elementary School, and Lowell Elementary School, Belpre Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below these schools. However, some nearby schools, like Beverly-Center Elementary School and Coolville Elementary School, outperform Belpre Elementary in several academic areas. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and continuing to improve academic outcomes across all student subgroups should be key priorities for the school and Belpre City School District.

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.
