Summary:
The 45130 zip code is home to a single standout public elementary school, Hamersville Elementary School, which serves 592 students in grades K-8 and consistently performs above state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels.
Hamersville Elementary is a high-achieving school, ranking among the top 465 elementary schools in Ohio and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's student population is relatively homogeneous, with 96.96% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the state and national averages for racial diversity in schools. Additionally, 48.31% of Hamersville Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, Hamersville Elementary continues to excel academically, with particularly strong performance in subjects like 5th grade Science, 4th grade Mathematics, and 7th grade English Language Arts. The school's per-student spending of $8,167 is slightly lower than the national average, but it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 18.3, which is slightly higher than the national average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area of concern that the Western Brown Local district may need to address.
