River Elementary School

Summary:

River Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Hannibal, Ohio, with a student population of 332 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District, which is ranked 523 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While River Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.99%) compared to the state average, it faces several challenges. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 27.3% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average. Additionally, River Elementary School generally performs below the state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels, with its 5th grade science proficiency (34.4%) significantly lower than the state (64%) and district (49.3%) averages in 2023-2024. The school has also consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools for gifted and talented student performance, indicating a potential gap in services for high-achieving students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District, River Elementary School generally performs below its peers on test scores and other metrics. For example, Skyvue Elementary School outperformed River Elementary on several 2023-2024 test score measures. Additionally, River Elementary School's spending per student ($12,669 in 2018-2019) is slightly higher than the state average, but it is unclear how this funding is being utilized to support 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.
