Summary:
The 43162 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Jefferson Local school district. The standout performer is Norwood Elementary School, which consistently ranks in the top half of Ohio elementary schools and excels in academic assessments, particularly in math. In contrast, West Jefferson High School has a relatively low statewide ranking but maintains a high graduation rate, though it struggles in some subject areas on end-of-course exams.
Norwood Elementary School's strong performance is reflected in its 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger and its students' above-average scores in math and English language arts. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school. Meanwhile, West Jefferson High School's mixed results show it performing well on American Government and American History exams but lagging behind in Biology and Geometry.
The data suggests an opportunity for the district to examine the successful practices at Norwood Elementary and explore ways to apply them at the middle and high school levels. Addressing the academic gaps and improving performance at the secondary level could have a significant impact on the overall educational outcomes for the district.
