Summary:
Zip code 43623 has four public schools — three elementary schools, no middle school, and one high school — serving 1,636 students total, with the three elementaries (Monac, Whiteford, and McGregor) enrolling 1,260 students and the single high school enrolling 376. The zip splits across two districts: Washington Local contains Monac Elementary School and Mcgregor Elementary School (842 students combined), while Sylvania Schools contains Whiteford Elementary School. Because there is no middle school in the zip, families should expect students to move elsewhere for grades 6–8 depending on their school's grade span.
Whiteford Elementary School is the strongest overall option, with the lowest student/teacher ratio (13.7), the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate among the elementaries (48.56%), 3 stars, and the zip's best elementary test results — an average of 65.4% proficient across overlapping grades 3–5 tests, above the state's roughly 63.8%. Its district, Sylvania Schools, ranks in the 77th percentile with 4 stars. Monac Elementary School has the best attendance in the zip (13.2% chronic absenteeism) and strong 6th-grade math (71.6% vs. the state's 56.2%), but a higher student/teacher ratio (21.4) and lower composite proficiency (56.7%). Mcgregor Elementary School shows 6th-grade strengths (59.3% math, 58.5% ELA, both above state) but the highest elementary absenteeism (22.2%) and the lowest 2025–26 composite (53.0%).
Skyway Career Prep High School is the clearest concern: 0 stars, a ranking in the 1st percentile, a 25.0% graduation rate, 97.9% chronic absenteeism, and a student/teacher ratio of 31.3. Its end-of-course proficiency is far below state in every reported subject, with no subject reaching 22% and Geometry at 0%. Across all three elementaries, 5th-grade math is a shared weak spot, ranging from 37.1% to 42.6% against a state rate of 59.1%.
