Summary:
Zip code 43945 has exactly one elementary school: Southern Local Elementary School, located at 38095 State Route 39 in Salineville, Ohio. It serves students in grades PK through 5, with 389 students, and belongs to the Southern Local district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there are no nearby public elementary peers to compare it against; the most useful comparisons are between this school, its own district, and Ohio state averages.
The school's brightest spots are in fifth grade and in attendance. Fifth grade science scored 70.2% proficient, which is 7.5 points above the state average, and fifth grade English language arts scored 70.2%, essentially matching the state. Third grade reading was 65.6%, above the state's 63.4%. Chronic absenteeism at the school was 16.1%, noticeably lower than the district's 22.3%. The school also holds a 2-star rating and a 37th percentile statewide rank, ahead of its district's 1-star, 24th percentile profile, although the district overall ranks 587 of 773 districts.
Fourth grade is the clearest concern. Fourth grade math was 45.9% proficient and fourth grade reading 41.0% — each roughly 21 points below the state average. The district's fourth grade scores were low as well, so this looks like a broader pattern rather than something unique to this school. The school's statewide rank percentile has also slipped over three years, from 46 to 41 to 37, and about one in six students is still chronically absent. Some context is missing: free/reduced-price lunch data is not reported, and the per-pupil spending figure of $10,071 dates back to 2018-19.
