Buckeye South Elementary School

Summary:

Buckeye South Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Tiltonsville, Ohio, with a student population of 319. The school is part of the Buckeye Local School District, which is ranked 506 out of 839 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Buckeye South Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its local district on Ohio state assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were below the state and district averages across most grade levels and subject areas, including mathematics, English language arts, and science. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 49.9% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Leona Ave Middle School, Buckeye South generally underperforms.

However, the school does show some strengths in supporting its special education and low-income student populations, ranking in the top 25-30% of Ohio elementary schools in these categories. To improve, Buckeye South Elementary should focus on addressing the root causes of its academic and attendance issues, while also exploring strategies to better support all of its students.

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.
