The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with standout institutions like Trebein Elementary School and Jacob Coy Middle School consistently outperforming the state and district averages on Ohio state tests. However, schools like Warner Middle and Shawnee Elementary struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly in math and English language arts.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with Xenia High School and Warner Middle having the highest rates at 43.8% and 34.9%, respectively.
