Intermediate Elementary School

Summary:

Intermediate Elementary School is a public elementary school in Galion, Ohio, serving 366 students in grades 3-5. The school is part of the Galion City School District, which is ranked 513 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Intermediate Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.44%) compared to the state average, its academic performance is generally below state and local standards. The school's proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts are lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, Intermediate Elementary School's rankings for specific student groups, such as White students, Special Education students, and Gifted and Talented students, are in the bottom half or bottom quarter of Ohio elementary schools, indicating underperformance in these areas. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.8% to 30.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Nearby schools, such as Liberty Elementary School (River Valley Local) and Stingel Elementary School (Ontario Local), consistently outperform Intermediate Elementary School in test scores and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that Intermediate Elementary School has the potential for improvement, and addressing the school's chronic absenteeism and academic performance issues could be key priorities for the school and 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.
