No surprises here.

Serving 94 students in grades Kindergarten-6, Dayton Smart Elementary School ranks in the bottom 50% of all schools in Ohio for overall test scores (math proficiency is bottom 50%, and reading proficiency is bottom 50%).

The percentage of students achieving proficiency in math is 11-19% (which is lower than the Ohio state average of 54%). The percentage of students achieving proficiency in reading/language arts is 40-49% (which is lower than the Ohio state average of 60%).

The student-teacher ratio of 16:1 is lower than the Ohio state level of 17:1.

Minority enrollment is 93% of the student body (majority Hispanic), which is higher than the Ohio state average of 35% (majority Black and Hispanic).

I imagine the discussion that resulted in this nightmare was quite racist. As soon as they realized the population they would be serving, they literally just said "Can't we just put it under the freeway or something?"
