Deer Park Community City

The Deer Park Community City school district in Ohio consists of two schools - Amity Elementary School and Deer Park Junior/Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 442 out of 835 districts in Ohio and rated 2 stars out of 5, Deer Park Community City has some standout schools within its system.

Amity Elementary School is a particularly strong performer, with students scoring above the state average in Math and English Language Arts despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families. In contrast, Deer Park Junior/Senior High School has mixed academic results, with 8th grade Science proficiency above state average but 7th and 8th grade Math proficiency below state average. However, the high school does boast an excellent 96.4% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state average.

One area of concern across the district is the high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at Deer Park Junior/Senior High School at 37.2%. Addressing attendance issues could be a key focus for improvement. Additionally, the per-student spending difference of $2,189 between the elementary and high school is notable and worth exploring further to understand the drivers and potential impacts on student outcomes.
