Summary:
The Shadyside Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Jefferson Ave Elementary School and Leona Ave Middle School) and 1 high school (Shadyside High School). The district's schools show a mix of high-performing and average-performing institutions, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Leona Ave Middle School emerges as the top-performing school in the district, with consistently high proficiency rates on state tests, particularly in 5th grade math (87.9%) and English language arts (97%). The school is ranked 327 out of 1,558 Ohio elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Shadyside High School has shown improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating between 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, with a strong graduation rate of 98.2% in 2024-2025.
However, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of 28.6% across all three schools in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the data suggests socioeconomic disparities within the district, with Leona Ave Middle School having a much higher free/reduced lunch rate (80.98%) compared to Jefferson Ave Elementary School (50%). These issues warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Shadyside Local school district.
