Summary:
The Fayette Local district in Ohio has only one elementary school, Fayette Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 220 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (85.91%) with a significant Hispanic minority (11.82%).
Fayette Elementary School's academic performance is mixed compared to state averages in Ohio. The school excels in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th graders scoring well above the state average. However, 5th and 6th graders struggle, scoring below the state average in both mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 52.4% is also significantly lower than the state average of 64%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 9.4% is higher than desired, which can negatively impact student learning.
On a positive note, Fayette Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which could allow for more individualized attention. The school's spending per student of $10,901 is in line with the state average, but it's unclear how these funds are being utilized to support student achievement. Overall, the district and school leaders may need to investigate the root causes of the academic challenges and develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the upper elementary grades and in science.
