Rossford Elementary School

Summary:

Rossford Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 837 students in grades PK-5 in Rossford, Ohio, which is part of the Rossford Exempted Village School District. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, its academic performance on state tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 45-73% across different grade levels and subjects. This is lower than the high-performing nearby schools like Frank Elementary and Toth Elementary.

Rossford Elementary has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.8% in 2019-2020 to 17.5% in 2020-2021, which is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby high-performing schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 37.04% in 2022-2023, and a higher student-teacher ratio of around 20.7 compared to the nearby high-performing schools.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 521 out of 1,687 Ohio elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 849 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, suggesting a need for improvement in academic outcomes. While Hispanic students at Rossford Elementary perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50 schools in Ohio, students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform much worse, ranking in the bottom 25% of Ohio schools. Addressing the underlying factors, such as chronic absenteeism and student-teacher ratio, could be a key focus for improvement at Rossford 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.
