Summary:
The 44035 zip code area of Elyria, Ohio is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Elyria City Schools district. While the district is ranked 648 out of 828 in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools stand out in the area.
Northwood Elementary School has the highest performance on state tests, with 53.8% proficiency in 3rd grade math and 66.7% proficiency in 3rd grade English Language Arts, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest in the district. Constellation Schools: Elyria Community, a public charter school, also has some of the highest test scores in the district, particularly in 5th and 8th grade science and 3rd grade English Language Arts, and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 36.9%. While Elyria High School has a low 1-star rating, it has a higher graduation rate (85.6%) compared to the district's other high school, Black River Career Prep High School (31.5%).
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 33.1% to 97.2%, and generally low performance on state tests, well below the state average in math and English Language Arts. Additionally, many schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. While spending per student varies, the data highlights the need for the Elyria City Schools district to address these disparities and provide targeted support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
