National Trail Local

The National Trail Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the high school level.

The standout school in the district is National Trail Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Ohio elementary schools and maintains a 4-star rating. The school boasts impressive test scores, with over 80% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in math and English Language Arts, as well as a low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the performance at the secondary level is more mixed, with National Trail Middle School performing well on state science tests and Algebra I, but National Trail High School showing some subjects lagging behind state averages, particularly in Geometry and Algebra I.

The district's funding and resources appear to be generally in line with state averages, with spending per student ranging from $9,467 at the elementary school to $11,536 at the high school, and relatively low student-teacher ratios. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, especially at the high school level, suggests that the district may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting academic performance at the secondary level. Addressing these challenges and supporting the needs of the district's economically disadvantaged students could be an area of focus for the National Trail Local school district.
