Summary:
Edon, Ohio is a small community served by just two public schools — Edon Elementary School, which covers grades PK–6 with 296 students, and Edon High School, which covers grades 7–12 with 231 students — for 527 students total, all within the Edon Northwest Local district, which has no middle school and no alternative school. The high school's grade range means its results blend middle-level grades 7 and 8 with grades 9–12. The district ranks 244 of 773 districts, in the 68th percentile with a 3-star rating.
Both schools generally score above the state average, but in different subjects. The elementary school is strongest in the upper grades: 5th grade math at 88.9% versus 59.1% statewide, 6th grade math at 87.1% versus 56.2%, 4th grade math at 86.1% versus 67.3%, and 5th grade ELA at 88.9% versus 70.4%. The high school stands out in social studies and English, with American Government at 91.9% versus 71.6% statewide, American History at 90% versus 73.2%, English II at 75.6% versus 62.7%, and a 95.2% graduation rate. Algebra I also improved from 44.2%, below the state, to 64.1%.
There are areas to watch. Third grade is the elementary school's weak spot, with math at 45.2% versus 62.1% statewide and ELA at 61.9% versus 63.4%; both fell from the prior year, and the school slipped from 4 stars to 3. At the high school, Geometry is at 31.6% versus 43.3% statewide and declined further. Chronic absenteeism is higher at the high school (15.4%) than the elementary school (10.6%), with the district at 12.7%. The high school reports 88.31% free/reduced lunch, while the elementary value is not reported, so poverty comparisons between them are not possible. Spending and staffing are nearly identical, at $10,670 and $10,401 per student and student-teacher ratios of 14.5 and 14.3.
