Summary:
ZIP code 43542 contains exactly one school — Monclova Elementary School, a K–4 campus with 457 students in the Anthony Wayne Local district in Monclova, Ohio; there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in this ZIP in the available data, so families here depend on other district campuses for grades beyond elementary.
That single school is exceptionally strong. Monclova Elementary has ranked in the top 1% of Ohio elementary schools for three straight years, placing #14 of 1,560 in 2025–26, #9 of 1,558 in 2024–25, and #14 of 1,577 in 2023–24, earning 5 stars and a 99th percentile rating each time. The surrounding district is elite too, ranking #22 of 773 districts at the 97th percentile. School proficiency ranges from 92.6% to 100%, while state scores on the same reported tests range from 56.7% to 69.1%. ELA results stand out especially: in 2024–25, 3rd-grade ELA hit 98.9% for the school versus 91.7% districtwide and 61.3% statewide. One caution: the school is listed as K–4, yet 5th-grade results are reported, including 100% proficient in 5th-grade math in both years — treat those as reported values to confirm with the school.
Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism is 2.1%, well below the district's 6.8%. The 2024–25 free/reduced lunch rate is 17.07%, a relatively low economic-disadvantage indicator, and the 2024–25 student-teacher ratio is 20.7. Per-student spending of $10,004 comes from 2018–19, so it is dated. Overall, this is a consistently top-ranked, five-star school with very high proficiency and strong attendance — small gaps versus its own high-performing district, but a wide lead over the state.
