Summary:
The 18 schools in the 43123 zip code of Grove City, Ohio, serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of academic performance and student demographics. While some standout schools like Buckeye Woods Elementary and Jackson Middle School excel academically, others struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, often correlated with higher percentages of minority and low-income students.
The South-Western City School District, which encompasses all the schools in the 43123 zip code, is ranked 528 out of 835 districts in Ohio and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting the district as a whole is underperforming compared to other districts in the state. The data highlights the importance of early childhood education, with the two preschool centers in the area serving a significant number of students, many from disadvantaged backgrounds.
While the student-teacher ratios across the schools are relatively consistent, the data suggests that factors other than staffing levels, such as curriculum, teaching methods, and school leadership, may be more influential in driving academic outcomes. Policymakers and educators can use this data to identify the strengths and challenges facing the schools in the 43123 zip code and work to address the disparities to improve educational outcomes for all students in the area.
