Summary:

ZIP code 40353 has eight schools serving elementary, middle and high school grades, with 4,442 students enrolled across the group. In 2025–2026, elementary-school averages were stronger than state averages in reading (54% versus 50%), writing (40% versus 35%) and editing and mechanics (52% versus 48%), but weaker in math (39% versus 43%). Results differ substantially by school, making school-to-school differences the clearest takeaway for families.

Northview Elementary stands out among the elementary schools, averaging 53% across its reported grade-subject scores, compared with 47% at Mapleton Elementary School, 43% at Mount Sterling Elementary School and 37% at Camargo Elementary School. Northview’s average is 16 points above Camargo’s; Camargo had the lowest result in six of ten comparisons, including fifth-grade writing at 24% versus 35% statewide. McNabb Middle School was above the state in six of ten reported scores, though its eighth-grade math was 31% versus 39%. Montgomery County High School beat district results in all six subjects, but was above the state in only reading and social studies.

Across 56 comparable score changes from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school results fell by an average of 2 points while state results were essentially unchanged. SchoolDigger rankings also show mixed paths: Northview was at the 71st percentile in 2025–2026, while Camargo was at the 30th; since 2023–2024, Mapleton fell 11 percentile points and Montgomery County High fell 24, while McNabb rose 8. Northview’s 15.9 student-teacher ratio is higher than Mapleton’s and Camargo’s 15.1, despite its stronger average. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 61% at Northview to 73% at Camargo, useful context that does not explain school results.
