Summary:
Antwerp Local serves about 665 students across three schools: Antwerp Local Elementary School (PK–5, 345 students), Antwerp Local Middle School (6–8, 142 students), and Antwerp Local High School (9–12, 178 students). The elementary school is the largest, holding roughly 52% of enrollment, followed by the high school at 27% and the middle school at 21%. The district ranks 197 of 773 in Ohio, in the 75th percentile with 4 stars, but that district rating appears on all three schools and masks significant differences between them.
The middle school is the district's strongest performer, ranking 68 of 1,046 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and improving for three straight years from the 81st to the 88th to the 93rd percentile. It scores above the state in every reported subject, including a striking 100% proficiency in Algebra I. The elementary school ranks 393 of 1,560 (75th percentile, 4 stars), with math and ELA often 12–25 points above state — 4th-grade math is 89.7 vs. 67.3 and 5th-grade math 84.8 vs. 59.1 — though 5th-grade science falls below state in both years (58.7 vs. 62.7). The high school is the weakest by ranking, at 390 of 795 (51st percentile, 3 stars), down from the 86th percentile. Biology is below state (56.8 vs. 67.0), but it reports a 100% graduation rate.
Chronic absenteeism is similar at the elementary (11.3%) and middle (11.2%) schools, both slightly below the district's 11.8%, while the high school is higher at 13.2%. Spending and staffing do not track neatly with results: the high school has the highest 2018–2019 per-student spending ($13,208) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.1) but the lowest rank, while the middle school has the lowest spending ($7,524) and highest ratio (14.2) but the highest rank. Only the high school reports free/reduced lunch, at 98.31%, so poverty comparisons across schools are not possible; the elementary and middle school values are unknown.
