Buckeye North Elementary School

Summary:

Buckeye North Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 273 students in grades PK-6 in Brilliant, Ohio, which is part of the Buckeye Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the district and the state of Ohio in academic proficiency, with 79.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science compared to 52.5% for the district and 64% for the state. Buckeye North also has strong performance for students in special education and low socioeconomic status, ranking 178 out of 900 Ohio elementary schools for special education students and 443 out of 1,484 for low socioeconomic status students, both with 4-star ratings.

However, Buckeye North Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.7% in 2019-2020 to 41.7% in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 465 out of 1,651 Ohio elementary schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 871 out of 1,687 in 2013-2014 (2-star rating), suggesting inconsistent performance. While Buckeye North outperforms the district and state in many areas, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as East Garfield Elementary and Pugliese Elementary West in the Steubenville City School District, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

Overall, Buckeye North Elementary School is a solid performer, particularly in supporting special education and low-income students, but faces challenges with chronic absenteeism and maintaining consistent academic excellence compared to some of the top-performing schools in the region. The school and district should focus on addressing these areas to further improve student outcomes.

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.
