Summary:
The Zanesville City school district in Ohio consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a few schools stand out for their strong performance.
John McIntire Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math and English language arts. In contrast, the other schools in the district generally perform below state averages, with Zane Grey Elementary and Zanesville Middle School seeing declines in their statewide rankings over the past few years. However, Zanesville High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.8%.
The high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 30.9% across all schools in the 2024-2025 school year, are a major concern and likely contribute to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the district's spending per student, ranging from $7,267 at Zanesville Middle School to $9,823 at Zanesville High School, is in line with the state average. Overall, the data highlights both strengths and challenges within the Zanesville City school district, and addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and equity should be a priority moving forward.
