Summary:
ZIP code 43947 in Shadyside, Ohio contains three schools — all part of the Shadyside Local district — serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with a combined enrollment of 699. Shadyside High School is the largest at 285 students (grades 7–12), followed by Jefferson Ave Elementary School at 224 (PK–2) and Leona Ave Middle School at 190 (grades 3–6). The district ranks 144th of 773 in Ohio, in the 81st percentile with 4 stars.
Shadyside High School is the clearest standout, climbing from the 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2023–2024 to the 78th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026. It reported a 97.8% graduation rate and exceeded the state proficiency rate in all 11 reported assessments for 2025–2026, including 7th grade English Language Arts at 93.0% versus 62.7% statewide. Leona Ave Middle School also beat the state in 8 of 9 reported tests despite a 92.11% free/reduced-lunch rate and the lowest per-student spending of the three ($6,734 in 2018–2019); only 3rd grade math fell short. Its relative rank, however, slipped from the 86th to the 70th percentile over three years. Jefferson Ave Elementary School serves only PK–2, so it has no state test results here, but it reports much lower poverty (50.89% free/reduced lunch).
Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern: Shadyside High School is at 33.0%, above the district's 25.5%, while Leona Ave Middle School (19.2%) and Jefferson Ave Elementary School (20.4%) are both below it. Leona has the smallest student/teacher ratio (13.4) and Jefferson the largest (16.0). Note that Leona is labeled an elementary school in the data despite serving grades 3–6, the high school's free/reduced-lunch rate is not reported, and spending figures are historical.
