Apple Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Apple Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 370 students in grades PK-6 in Apple Creek, Ohio, which is part of the Southeast Local School District. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, it faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, lower-than-average test scores, and a declining statewide ranking.

Apple Creek Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the Southeast Local District and the state average, particularly in mathematics. In 2023-2024, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 57.6% in the district and 62.1% statewide. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 484 out of 1,687 Ohio elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 812 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, placing it in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mount Eaton Elementary School and Fredericksburg Elementary School, both in the Southeast Local District, Apple Creek Elementary School generally underperforms. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

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.
