Alder Family,
As we head into spring break, I want to take a moment to express sincere gratitude for our entire Jonathan Alder community, our students, staff, families, and partners. Your continued support plays an important role in the success we see across our district each day.
This year, our focus has been on one simple but powerful word: Connect.
We see that connection in our classrooms, where teachers build strong relationships with students. We see it in the collaboration between staff and families. And we see it in the shared commitment across our community to support every learner. Because of how we connect, what we accomplish together each day is something special, and something we take great pride in.
Recently, new statewide data provided a look at how school districts across Ohio are performing academically in relation to their spending. Across the state, districts spend an average of $16,069 per student, with an average Performance Index (PI) of 91.8.
At Jonathan Alder, our community has much to be proud of. We spend approximately $14,803 per student while achieving a Performance Index of 95.9, exceeding the state average in student performance while operating below the state average in per-pupil spending.
