Summary:
Zip code 43518 is home to exactly one high school: Edon High School, a grades 7–12 campus with 231 students in the Edon Northwest Local district. Because there is only one high school here, there are no in-area peers to compare it against; the meaningful benchmarks are Ohio state averages, the district, and the school's own prior-year results. Roughly 88.31% of students received free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, indicating substantial economic disadvantage, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.3. Per-student spending was reported at $10,401 in 2018–2019.
Academically, Edon High performed above the Ohio average in 10 of 11 listed tests in 2025–2026. Its strongest subjects were American Government (91.9% proficient vs. 71.6% statewide) and American History (90.0% vs. 73.2%). Algebra I improved dramatically, rising from 44.2% in 2024–2025 to 64.1% in 2025–2026, moving from 15.2 points below the state to 2.5 points above it. Geometry is the clear weak spot: 31.6% proficiency against a 43.3% state figure, the only subject below the state in both reported years. Averaged across all 11 tests, the school scored 68.1% versus the state's 60.2%, though that is a dip from 70.2% the year before.
The graduation rate is strong at 95.2%, matching the district. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 15.4% at the school compared with 12.7% districtwide. Rankings have cooled from a peak: 145th of 864 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024, down to 314th of 795 (61st percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. The district itself ranks 244th of 773 (68th percentile, 3 stars), and its test scores match the school's exactly in every listed subject. In short, this is a small, high-poverty school that still outperforms the state in most subjects, with Geometry proficiency, recent declines in some 8th-grade and science results, and absenteeism as areas to watch.
