Dixie Elementary School

Summary:

Dixie Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Lebanon, Ohio, serving 452 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the New Lebanon Local School District, which is ranked 438 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dixie Elementary School consistently performs above the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency for 3rd and 4th-grade students. For example, in 2023-2024, 80% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 62.1%. The school also ranks highly in the state for its performance with special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating that the school is effectively serving these student populations. While Dixie Elementary School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, reaching 20.7% in 2023-2024, it still performs better than some of the nearby schools, such as Trotwood-Madison Early Learning Center, which had a 40.2% chronic absenteeism rate.

The data on nearby schools, such as Belle Haven Elementary, Trotwood Preparatory & Fitness Academy, and Westbrooke Village, reveals significant academic and demographic disparities, with many of these schools struggling to meet state proficiency standards and serving predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations. This suggests the need for further investigation into issues of equity and access to quality education in the area.

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.
