Summary:
ZIP code 43103, covering Ashville and South Bloomfield in central Ohio, is served by six schools — all part of a single district, Teays Valley Local — spanning pre-kindergarten through 12th grade with roughly 3,320 students. The district ranks 168th of 773 statewide (78th percentile, 4 stars). The group includes three elementaries (PK–5), one middle school (6–8), one comprehensive high school (9–12), and a small online program (7–12, 65 students).
Several schools stand out. Ashville Elementary School is the most consistent, ranking at or above the 79th percentile for three straight years, with 3rd-grade math at 86.4% — about 24 points above the state — despite the lowest per-student spending and largest classes of the three elementaries. South Bloomfield Elementary has the best attendance in the ZIP (10.6% chronic absenteeism vs. 20.5% district) and the strongest 5th-grade reading and science scores. Teays Valley East Middle School shows the biggest three-year gain, climbing from the 62nd to the 74th percentile, and reports 100% Algebra I proficiency in two consecutive years. Teays Valley High School posts a 95.4% graduation rate and the ZIP's highest single score, 87.2% in American Government.
Two schools need watching. Walnut Elementary School dropped 17 percentile points in three years (85 to 68) and is the only elementary rated 3 stars; its 5th-grade reading fell from 93% to 67.8%. Teays Valley Digital Academy looks very different from the rest, with a 75% graduation rate and 59.6% chronic absenteeism. Attendance generally worsens as grade levels rise, and 5th-grade math is the weakest subject across all three elementaries, while reading is their strongest. Notably, spending and class size do not track results here.
