Summary:

The 49451 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: Beechnau Elementary School, Ravenna High School, and Ravenna Middle School, all part of the Ravenna Public Schools district. While Ravenna High School stands out as the strongest performer, with a higher statewide ranking and better test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates, the district faces challenges, including declining performance at Beechnau Elementary and high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools.

Ravenna High School is the top performer, ranked 288 out of 739 Michigan high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in 11th-grade M-Step Science, Social Studies, and SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing proficiency rates. In contrast, Ravenna Middle School struggled with lower-than-state-average proficiency rates in M-Step Math and Science for multiple grade levels.

Beechnau Elementary School's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking and rating dropping from a 2-star rating in 2024-2025 to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. However, the school did outperform the state average in 3rd-grade M-Step English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. Socioeconomic challenges are evident, with high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients at both Beechnau Elementary and Ravenna Middle School. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is a concern across all three schools, should be a priority for the district.
