Summary:
Schools in Zanesville City serve about 3,061 students across five schools—three elementary (PK–6), one middle (7–8), and one high (9–12)—in Ohio, and the district is ranked 552 of 773 (29th percentile, 1 star). Elementary enrollment is 1,906, middle is 466, and high is 689. Free/reduced lunch data was blank, and spending data is from 2018–2019.
John McIntire Elementary is the strongest elementary: 49th percentile, 2 stars, a test average of about 62.4%, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.1%. National Road is a math standout—3rd grade math 78.3%, 4th grade math 73.3%, 5th grade math 61.4%—but weak in 4th and 6th grade ELA, and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 22.7. Zanesville Middle has an Algebra I outlier of 90.5% (100.0% in 2024–2025), but other subjects are below state, and absenteeism is 35.4%. Zanesville High has a 97.4% graduation rate but weak proficiency—only American Government is above state—with the highest absenteeism at 37.6%. Zane Grey Elementary is the largest (915 students) but lowest-ranked: 26th percentile, 1 star, below district and state in every reported test, though absenteeism is 27.7%.
Takeaways: performance varies widely within the district; John McIntire and National Road beat district averages, while Zane Grey lags. Attendance matters but does not explain everything, since Zane Grey has lower absenteeism than National Road yet weaker results. Resources show no simple link—Zanesville High spends the most ($9,823) but has low proficiency, while Zanesville Middle spends the least ($7,267) yet has the Algebra I standout. The district remains low-rated despite bright spots.
