Summary:
ZIP code 43078 is served by three public schools, all part of the Urbana City district: Urbana Elementary School (PK–5, 864 students), Urbana Junior High School (6–8, 387 students), and Urbana High School (9–12, 528 students), for a total enrollment of 1,779. The district ranks 560 of 773 in Ohio — the 28th percentile — with a 1-star rating, even though each school's latest rank history shows 2 stars. All three schools fall below the state median in overall rank percentile, so none is currently outperforming the typical Ohio school.
Urbana Junior High School is the strongest of the three, with the best rank percentile (41st), the steadiest three-year rank history, the lowest student-teacher ratio (16.1), and the highest test result in the data: 85.3% proficient in Algebra I versus 61.6% statewide. It also beats the state in 7th grade math (56.0% vs. 48.6%) and is essentially at the state average in 8th grade science (60.9% vs. 61.2%). Its weak spots are 6th grade ELA (37.4% vs. 56.0%) and 8th grade math (39.0% vs. 52.0%), though both 8th grade math and ELA improved year over year.
Urbana High School posts a 91.2% graduation rate and above-state results in American Government (75.3%) and Geometry (46.3%), but has the lowest Algebra I proficiency in the ZIP code (28.9% vs. 61.6% state) and the highest chronic absenteeism (28.1%). Urbana Elementary School has the lowest absenteeism (13.6%) but no 2025–2026 test above the state average, with 4th grade math at 37.5% and 4th grade ELA at 45.8%. Across all 21 subject/grade records, only 4 are above state and 16 are below. Poverty and per-student spending are broadly similar across the three schools.
