Summary:
ZIP code 43793 serves Woodsfield, Ohio, and contains three schools, all part of the Switzerland of Ohio Local district: one elementary school covering grades PK–8 and two high schools serving grades 9–12 and 10–12. Together they enroll 748 students, with no standalone middle school or alternative school in the ZIP. The district as a whole ranks 493 of 773 statewide, in the 36th percentile with 2 stars, so it sits in the lower-middle tier.
Woodsfield Elementary School is the academic bright spot, and it is also the largest school with 363 students. It earns 3 stars in each of the last three reported years and ranks above the state median each time, unlike the district overall. Its 3rd grade English Language Arts result is remarkable — 91.3% proficient, versus 85.7% in the district and 63.4% statewide — and it beats the state in grades 5–8 ELA and in grades 5 and 8 science. Math is less even: 5th grade math is 40.5% proficient against the state's 59.1%, and 4th grade ELA is 48.5% versus 61.8% statewide.
Monroe Central High School is mixed. It rebounded from 1 star to 2 stars, and American Government is a genuine strength at 84.3% proficient, above the district and state. Algebra I and Biology improved sharply, but Geometry remains a severe weakness at 23.1% versus 43.3% statewide. Its chronic absenteeism of 32.3% is above the district's 30.0%, and its 86.7% graduation rate trails the district's 92.4%. Swiss Hills Career Center is small, serving 139 students in grades 10–12 with a low student-teacher ratio of 6.1, but it has no test scores, absenteeism, or graduation data here, so its academic performance cannot be compared.
