Summary:
The 44062 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cardinal Local school district. While the elementary school, A J Jordak Elementary School, stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools face challenges in certain areas.
A J Jordak Elementary excels in Math and English Language Arts, with higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state. However, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating greater economic disadvantage. In contrast, Cardinal High School struggles with lower proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry, and has a relatively low four-year graduation rate of 86.9%. Meanwhile, Cardinal Middle School stands out with high proficiency rates in 8th grade Science and a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism is a concern, particularly at the high school (37.6%) and middle school (23.5%) levels. The student population is predominantly white, with low minority representation. Socioeconomic factors, such as the varying levels of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, may be contributing to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools in the 44062 zip code area.
