Wellston Intermediate School

Summary:

Wellston Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Wellston, Ohio, with a student population of 292. The school is part of the Wellston City School District, which is ranked 508 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wellston Intermediate School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.26%) compared to the state average, and it has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.6% to 33.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are mixed, with some subjects and grade levels performing better than the state, while others lag behind. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with the school ranking highly for special education students but much lower for white students and female students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Eastern Intermediate Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary, Wellston Intermediate School's student population is more homogeneous, and some of the nearby schools demonstrate stronger academic performance across multiple subjects and grade levels. However, Wellston Intermediate School's spending per student ($11,462 in 2018-2019) is comparable to or higher than many of the surrounding schools, indicating that funding may not be the primary driver of the school's performance.

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.
