Summary:
The 43326 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (1 traditional public and 1 public charter). While the overall academic performance of the schools in this area is mixed, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.
Kenton Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts compared to the Kenton City district and the state of Ohio, particularly in 4th grade. However, the school's overall statewide ranking is in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, and its high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8% is a concern. In contrast, Hardin Community School, a public charter high school, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4% despite its small size and significantly below-average test scores.
The data also reveals significant economic disadvantage across the schools, with high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 58.68% at Kenton High School to 76.47% at Hardin Community School. This highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by these students. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest that resource allocation and staffing may be areas to explore further to understand their potential impact on academic outcomes.
