Preble Shawnee Elementary School

Q: Is Preble Shawnee Elementary School a good school?

Preble Shawnee Elementary School ranks 1014 th of 1577 Ohio elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Preble Shawnee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 529 students in grades PK-4 in Camden, Ohio. The school is part of the Preble Shawnee Local School District, which is ranked 522 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Preble Shawnee Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades consistently lower than the Ohio state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 54.7%, compared to the state average of 62.1%. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent over the past few years, with no significant improvements or declines observed. Interestingly, the school's academic performance is lower than that of nearby schools, such as Madison Elementary, Kramer Elementary, and William Bruce Elementary, which are all part of higher-performing school districts.

Another area of concern for Preble Shawnee Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have increased significantly from 7.4% in 2019-2020 to 22.6% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is notably higher than the state average for chronic absenteeism, which was 16.1% in the 2021-2022 school year. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and students with disabilities tending to perform the lowest. Addressing these equity gaps and the root causes of chronic absenteeism will likely be important focus areas for the school and district moving forward.

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.
