Summary:

ZIP code 42220 has four schools serving preschool through grade 12: North Todd Elementary School (PK–5), Todd County Middle School (6–8), Todd County Central High School (9–12), and Horizons High School (6–12). The clearest takeaway is that reported achievement varies considerably by school: North Todd is above the state across its results, while Todd County Middle is below the state in every reported subject and grade.

North Todd has the strongest reported test profile: its 2025–2026 average was 52% proficient, about 8 points above the corresponding state average. Its fifth-grade math was especially strong at 69%, versus 43% statewide. At the other end, Todd County Middle averaged 31%, 11 points below the state average of 42%; its largest listed gaps included eighth-grade writing (28% versus 48%) and seventh- and eighth-grade reading (16 points below the state in each). Central High was in between, averaging 42%, 3 points above the state, and reported a 99% graduation rate, 5 points above the state. Horizons had 46% chronic absenteeism, compared with 24% statewide and 21% in the Todd County district; its test results are suppressed, so its academic standing cannot be assessed from these figures.

Results improved overall but not at every school: the average across the same reported tests rose by 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and the gap with the state narrowed by 1 point. The middle school improved by 4 points and Central High by 1, while North Todd declined by 1. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also rose from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 at North Todd (16 to 68) and Central High (44 to 67); the middle school changed from 16 to 17. The three schools with test results have similar student-teacher ratios, from 14.9 to 15.5. Their free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 ranged from 55% at the middle school to 64% at North Todd; these are context, not an explanation of results.
