Summary:
Zip code 41101 has one high-school listing: Ashland Alternative School, which serves grades 6–12 and reports 13 students. The clearest concern for families is chronic absenteeism: 68% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 27% in the Ashland Independent district and 24% statewide. The school’s absenteeism rate was 41 percentage points above the district and 45 points above the state.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools because Ashland Alternative School is the only school in the list. Its 10 school-level test results are suppressed, so the data cannot identify a subject leader or a weakest subject. District results offer context, not a school rating: across 10 grade-and-subject comparisons, the district averaged 7 percentage points below state results. The largest gap was in eighth-grade math, 18 points below the state; the smallest were sixth-grade reading and eighth-grade writing, each 2 points below.
The figures do not show whether the school’s results are improving or declining over time: its reported graduation rate was 67% in 2023–2024, while the absenteeism figure is from 2025–2026. For additional context, the school reported a 4.3:1 student–teacher ratio and 92% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures describe the school and do not explain its outcomes. SchoolDigger rates the district—not the school—at 2 stars and ranks it 101st of 158 districts, in the 36th percentile. The school’s tested-subject results are unavailable, so parents cannot use this list to compare its academic performance with other schools.
