Putman Elementary School

Summary:

Putman Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 466 students in grades PK-4 in Blanchester, Ohio, which is part of the Blanchester Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the state average in Ohio State Tests for both Mathematics and English Language Arts across grades 3 and 4, with 89.3% of 3rd graders and 81.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 62.1% and 67.2%, respectively.

Putman Elementary School's exceptional performance extends to certain student subgroups as well, ranking 44th out of 1,484 Ohio elementary schools for low socioeconomic status students and earning a 5-star rating. However, the school faces challenges, such as a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 19.5% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has seen a rise in its student-teacher ratio, from 14.3 in 2020-2021 to 18.6 in 2022-2023, which could impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.

While Putman Elementary School outperforms the state average, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate vicinity. For example, Lynchburg-Clay Elementary School and Spaulding Elementary School, both within a 12-mile radius, have higher rankings and test scores in certain subjects and grade levels. These comparisons provide valuable insights into the educational landscape of the region and highlight opportunities for improvement and collaboration.

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.
