Circleville Elementary School

Summary:

Circleville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 1,075 students in grades PK-5 in Circleville, Ohio. The school is part of the Circleville City School District, which is ranked 543 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Circleville Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.65%) compared to the state average, it faces several challenges. The school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.5% in 2019-2020 to 41.6% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Winchester Trail Elementary, Logan Elm Elementary School, and Scioto Elementary School. Academically, Circleville Elementary School's performance on Ohio State Tests is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels, and its rankings for specific student groups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Disabled students, are in the bottom quartile of Ohio elementary schools.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 252 out of 1,504 Ohio elementary schools in 2005-2006 to 869 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance. While the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates are not provided, the low rankings for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds indicate that this may be a contributing factor to its overall performance. Circleville Elementary School's rankings for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students are particularly low, suggesting the need for stronger support and programming for these student populations.

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.
