Walnut Creek Elementary School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Ohio, with a statewide ranking between 34 and 145 over the past several years. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past four school years, indicating exceptional academic performance. Walnut Creek Elementary School outperforms the East Holmes Local School District and the state of Ohio in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, including science, mathematics, and English language arts. The school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 2.7% to 12.1% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the state average.

While Walnut Creek Elementary School's academic excellence is commendable, the school has a predominantly white student population, with over 95% of students identifying as white in the most recent school year.

Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of around 16:1 is slightly higher than the nearby West Holmes Local and Garaway Local school districts. Overall, Walnut Creek Elementary School is a high-performing school that consistently outpaces its peers, but the school and district may need to consider addressing the lack of racial diversity and fluctuations in chronic absenteeism.

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.
