Nelsonville-York Elementary School

Summary:

Nelsonville-York Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 511 students in grades PK-5 in Nelsonville, Ohio, which is part of the Nelsonville-York City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Nelsonville-York Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 15.6% in 2019-2020 to 33.6% in 2021-2022, well above the state average. Academically, the school's performance on state tests is mixed, with some areas, such as 4th-grade math, performing better than the district and state averages, while struggling in others, like 3rd-grade English Language Arts. When compared to nearby schools, such as West Elementary School and Union Furnace Elementary School, Nelsonville-York Elementary School generally performs worse on academic measures.

However, the school does perform relatively better for special education and low-socioeconomic status students compared to other student groups, suggesting the school may be providing additional support and resources for these vulnerable populations. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions may be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and providing a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
