Zane Grey Elementary School

Summary:

Zane Grey Elementary School is a public elementary school in Zanesville, Ohio, serving 941 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Zanesville City School District. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism in recent years.

Zane Grey Elementary's student body is predominantly White (63.34%) with a significant percentage of students identifying as two or more races (24.55%). The school has a higher percentage of African American students (8.93%) compared to the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are below the Foxfire Intermediate School and Ohio state averages. Additionally, Zane Grey Elementary has struggled with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 34.0% in the 2023-2024 school year to a concerning 64.0% in the 2020-2021 school year.

While the school's African American and multi-racial students perform relatively better compared to their peers in the state, White students and students with disabilities tend to perform below the state average. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,325, slightly higher than the state average. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning outcomes and address the root causes of chronic absenteeism at Zane Grey Elementary School.

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.
