Summary:
ZIP code 43908 covers Bergholz, Ohio, and contains exactly one school — John E Gregg Elementary School, a PK–6 building of 377 students in the Edison Local district, meaning local families have no middle or high school within the ZIP and continue elsewhere in the district after grade 6.
On performance, this school is solidly above the Ohio average: in 2025-2026 it beat the state on 8 of 9 tested assessments, with an average proficiency of 74.2% versus 62.1% statewide, and in 2024-2025 it beat the state on all 9. Its standout year is 5th grade, posting 85.1% in math, 85.1% in ELA, and 87.2% in science — the biggest single gap over the state in the data. Attendance is a real strength too, with chronic absenteeism of 8.0% compared with 14.7% across the district, even though 47.75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The clear weak spot is 6th grade ELA at 44.2%, the only assessment below the state average (by 11.8 points) and below the district (by 6.3 points). Notably, the school's math average (77.5) leads its ELA average (67.8) by 9.7 points, the reverse of the state pattern.
Parents should also know the trend lines point down. Average proficiency across all nine assessments slipped from 78.4% to 74.2% in one year while the state stayed flat, the school's edge over the state narrowed from +17.2 to +12.1 points, its advantage over its own district shrank from +5.2 points to just +0.2, and its statewide percentile moved 74 → 81 → 69 with the star rating falling from 4 to 3. With one year of absenteeism and spending data and only two years of test scores, treat these as signals to watch rather than settled trends.
