Vanlue Elementary School

Q: Is Vanlue Elementary School a good school?

Vanlue Elementary School ranks 711 th of 1577 Ohio elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Vanlue Elementary School is a small public elementary school located in Vanlue, Ohio, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 47 students. The school is part of the Vanlue Local School District, which is ranked 477 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vanlue Elementary School stands out in several ways compared to nearby schools. It has a significantly smaller student population, ranging from 176 to 399 students at nearby schools, which can provide more personalized attention but may also limit educational opportunities. The school has also seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.3% to 15.7%, which is an area of concern. Academically, the school's test score performance has been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others are below. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade students scored 72.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts, which is above the state average of 70.6%, but only 63.6% proficient or better in Mathematics, which is below the state average of 57.4%.

Vanlue Elementary School's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 532 out of 1,676 Ohio elementary schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 1,109 out of 1,687 in 2013-2014. This volatility in ranking suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement. Despite these challenges, the school's white students and low-income students have performed relatively well compared to their peers statewide, indicating that the school may be effective in supporting these specific student populations.

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.
