Southern Local Elementary School

Summary:

Southern Local Elementary School is a public elementary school in Salineville, Ohio, serving 384 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Southern Local District, which is ranked 557 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Southern Local Elementary School's performance on state tests is generally below the state average, with a 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 56.8% compared to the state average of 62.1%. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 81.8% is significantly higher than the state average of 64%. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.9% in 2019-2020 to 38.3% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the state average and nearby schools. When looking at specific student groups, the school's female students and special education students have higher rankings compared to other Ohio elementary schools, while the performance of white students and disabled students is relatively lower.

Compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Toronto Elementary School, United Elementary School, and John E Gregg Elementary School, Southern Local Elementary School generally performs below average in academic measures, though its 5th-grade science proficiency rate stands out as a relative strength. The school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade suggests that its performance has not kept pace with improvements in other Ohio elementary schools, and addressing the root causes of high absenteeism and disparities in student group performance should be a priority for the school and 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.
