The district's schools generally perform above the state average on Ohio state tests, but there is significant variation in other key metrics, such as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 17.66% at Crosby Elementary to 56.59% at Harrison Elementary. The district's overall strong performance, coupled with the school-level differences, suggests effective leadership and teaching practices, but also opportunities for improvement in addressing socioeconomic disparities and chronic absenteeism, which is a concern across all schools in the district.
