South Bloomfield Elementary

Q: Is South Bloomfield Elementary a good school?

South Bloomfield Elementary ranks 380 th of 1577 Ohio elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

South Bloomfield Elementary is a public elementary school serving 491 students in grades K-5 in the Teays Valley Local School District in South Bloomfield, Ohio. The school has consistently been ranked as a 4-star school by SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools.

South Bloomfield Elementary students consistently outperform the state average and their local district on Ohio state tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 87.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 88.5% for the district and 64% for the state. The school also ranks very highly for its performance with special education and economically disadvantaged students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.6% in 2019-2020 to 19.1% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Teays Valley Local district, such as Scioto Elementary and Walnut Elementary, South Bloomfield Elementary generally outperforms them on test scores and student performance metrics. This strong academic performance is notable, especially when compared to more diverse schools like Glendening Elementary and Groveport Elementary, which struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.

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.
