Payne Elementary School

Summary:

Payne Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 234 students in grades K-6 in Payne, Ohio, which is part of the Wayne Trace Local School District. The school consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with 78.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science compared to the state average of 64%. However, Payne Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3% in 2019-2020 to 12.1% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Payne Elementary generally outperforms Grover Hill Elementary School, which is also part of the Wayne Trace Local School District. However, Payne lags behind some higher-performing schools in the region, such as Oakwood Elementary and Crestview Elementary, which are ranked among the top 5% of Ohio elementary schools. Additionally, Payne Elementary's female students and white students tend to perform better than their male and non-white counterparts, suggesting the school may need to focus on addressing any achievement gaps among different student subgroups.

Despite these challenges, Payne Elementary School spends $11,644 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3. By leveraging its resources and focusing on areas for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and achievement gaps, Payne Elementary can continue to provide a high-quality education for 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.
