Summary:
The city of Mount Orab, Ohio is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Western Brown High School, Mt Orab Primary Elementary School, and Mt Orab Middle School. These schools, part of the Western Brown Local district, serve a predominantly white student population and demonstrate varying levels of academic performance.
Among the standout schools, Mt Orab Middle School stands out with strong performance, ranking in the top third of Ohio middle schools and outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests. Mt Orab Primary Elementary School also performs well, meeting or exceeding state averages in several grade-level assessments. In contrast, Western Brown High School lags behind, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores compared to the other schools in the district.
Across the district, socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, with higher free/reduced lunch rates at the elementary and middle schools. Additionally, the schools demonstrate a lack of diversity, with a predominantly white student population. These demographic and socioeconomic differences may contribute to the observed performance gaps between the schools and warrant further investigation to identify strategies for addressing these challenges and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Mount Orab community.
