Summary:

Thornville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 388 students in grades K-5 in Thornville, Ohio, which is part of the Northern Local School District. The school consistently outperforms the state and its local district on Ohio state assessments, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Thornville Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in 5th grade science, 3rd-5th grade math, and 3rd-5th grade English language arts. The school also performs well across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, ranking in the top 25-30% of Ohio elementary schools for these subgroups. Notably, Thornville Elementary's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students rank in the top 1.5% of Ohio elementary schools for this subgroup, demonstrating the school's ability to support the learning of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Somerset Elementary and Glenford Elementary, Thornville Elementary consistently outperforms them on state assessments and maintains a higher statewide ranking. However, the school's predominantly white student population, with less than 5% of students identifying as non-white, may be an area for further exploration and consideration.

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.
