Holmesville Elementary School

Summary:

Holmesville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Holmesville, Ohio, serving 100 students in grades K-6 as part of the Southeast Local School District. The school has consistently performed above the district and state averages in several subject areas, including 5th grade Science, 3rd and 6th grade Mathematics, and 3rd and 6th grade English Language Arts. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 119 out of 1,678 Ohio elementary schools in 2015-2016 and as low as 912 out of 1,588 in 2021-2022.

Holmesville Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the other schools in the Southeast Local district, such as Apple Creek Elementary and Fredericksburg Elementary. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing schools in the East Holmes Local and Triway Local districts, such as Chestnut Ridge Elementary, Wooster Township Elementary, and Shreve Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 20-30% of Ohio elementary schools.

One concerning trend at Holmesville Elementary School is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 1.5% in 2019-2020 to 15.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Addressing this issue could help the school continue to improve and better serve its students. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at $9,626 in 2018-2019, is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $9,065 to $11,817 per student.

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.
