Best Public Schools in Felicity, OH

The city of Felicity, Ohio is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School, Felicity-Franklin Local High School, and Felicity-Franklin Local Middle School. These schools are part of the Felicity-Franklin Local school district.

The Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools with a 4-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly above the state averages, with over 80% of 3rd-5th grade students scoring proficient or better. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 19.2 may contribute to its strong academic performance.

The Felicity-Franklin Local Middle School faces significant challenges, with a very high percentage of students from low-income families (97.35% receiving free or reduced-price lunch). However, the school's test scores in some subject areas are close to or above the state averages, suggesting the school is working hard to support its students despite the challenges. The school's exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 likely helps the teachers provide more individualized attention. Across all three schools, the district's high chronic absenteeism rate of 29% is a concern and may be a contributing factor to the mixed academic performance, particularly at the middle and high school levels.
