Buckskin Elementary School

Summary:

Buckskin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in South Salem, Ohio, serving 196 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Greenfield Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 430 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Buckskin Elementary generally performs better than the state average and Greenfield Exempted Village district in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in 5th grade science and 3rd/4th grade math. However, 5th grade math scores are lower than the district and state. The school has a relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, with 58.16% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the nearby Rainsboro Elementary (61.54%) and Greenfield Elementary (54.72%) schools. Buckskin Elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio (14:1) compared to the district average and nearby schools.

Despite generally strong test scores, Buckskin Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 756 out of 1,636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 871 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be underperforming relative to others in the state. The school also faces a concerning rise in chronic absenteeism, increasing from 4.6% in 2019-2020 to 27.5% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. Addressing this issue should be a priority for the school and Greenfield Exempted Village School 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.
