Ashland

Ashland Elementary (prekindergarten–grade 5), Ashland Junior High School (grades 6–8), and Ashland High (grades 9–12) serve 189 students in all. In 2025–26, the three schools’ results varied considerably: all had ELA and math scores, while current science scores were reported for the elementary and high schools only. The clearest overall standout is Ashland High, which scored above the state in all three subjects with current results.

Ashland High led the group at 67% in both ELA and math and 62% in science—about 21, 26, and 23 percentage points above the state, respectively. At the other end, Ashland Junior High School had the lowest all-grades ELA and math scores, at 39% and 43%; those were 7 points below and 2 points above state results. Ashland Elementary had 50% in ELA and 57% in math, but just 21% in science. Its math results were above the state in grades 3, 4, and 5, including a 20-point advantage in grade 3; grade 5 science was 24 points below the state. SchoolDigger ranked the high school 2nd of 340, the elementary school 306th of 657, and the junior high 199th of 368 in their respective school categories.

Results have shifted, but not in the same way at every school. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, high school ELA rose 22 points and math rose 12; elementary ELA rose 12 points and math 3, while science fell 19. Junior high ELA edged up 1 point, but math dropped 11. Across the three schools, the simple average in ELA moved from 4 points below the state to 6 points above it; the math advantage remained substantial but narrowed from 16 to 14 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking history also diverged: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, the high school moved from the 22nd to the 99th percentile, while the elementary and junior high schools moved down from the 70th to 53rd percentile and 69th to 46th percentile. The high school’s 59% free/reduced-lunch rate was higher than the other schools’ rates, while the junior high had the lowest student–teacher ratio comparison in performance but the highest listed ratio, at 14.5 students per teacher; the elementary and high school ratios were 8.1 and 10.7. Because enrollment is small and schools serve different grades, these figures are best viewed as a snapshot, not a guarantee of individual student outcomes.
