Summary:
The 45171 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Sardinia Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 286 students. While the school has generally strong academic performance, outpacing state and district averages in most subject areas, it has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 293rd out of 1,588 Ohio elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 549th out of 1,577 in 2023-2024.
Sardinia Elementary School serves a predominantly White student population (97.2%), with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students (53.85% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1% is higher than the state average, which may be impacting student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is slightly higher than the recommended range, suggesting a potential need for additional staffing resources.
Despite these challenges, Eastern Local School District, which oversees Sardinia Elementary School, has maintained a per-student spending level that aligns with the state average. However, further examination of the school's resource allocation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the specific needs of its student population and reverse the declining statewide ranking trend.
