Summary:
The National Trail Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the high school level.
The standout school in the district is National Trail Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 87.2% of 3rd graders and 80.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 87.2% of 3rd graders and 74.2% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in Mathematics. In contrast, proficiency rates drop significantly by the time students reach high school, with only 48.6% proficient in English II and 27.9% in Geometry, suggesting potential issues with student learning progression and preparation.
National Trail Middle School also performs well, particularly in science, with 85.7% of 8th graders proficient or better, and in Algebra I, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the high school, which could contribute to the lower academic performance in the upper grades.
