Best Public Schools in Zip Code 44095

ZIP code 44095 is home to six public schools — three elementary schools serving grades K–5, two middle schools serving grades 6–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12 — all part of the Willoughby-Eastlake City district in Ohio, with a combined enrollment of 3,488 students. North High School is the largest at 1,231 students, roughly 35% of the ZIP code's total, while Eastlake Middle School is the smallest at 330 students. The district ranks 416 of 773 in Ohio, placing it in the 46th percentile with 2 stars.

Eastlake Middle School is the clear standout: ranked 503 of 1,046 (52nd percentile, 3 stars), it is the only school here above the district's percentile, up from the 45th percentile a year earlier, and it posts 100% proficiency in Algebra I and 81.8% in Geometry. Willowick Middle School (41st percentile, 2 stars) is similarly strong in advanced math — 86.7% in Geometry and 80% in Algebra I — though its regular grade-level math and ELA scores trail the state. Jefferson Elementary School leads the elementary schools with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 15.8% and strong ELA results. North High School is the biggest concern: 29th percentile, 1 star, 21.5% Geometry proficiency, 38.6% chronic absenteeism, and the highest student-teacher ratio at 20.8, though its 93.0% graduation rate is close to the district's.

Across the ZIP code, all three elementary schools fall below the state in 5th-grade math and science, a shared instructional challenge. Royalview Elementary School has declined from the 42nd to the 33rd percentile despite having the lowest free/reduced lunch rate and the highest per-student spending. Poverty and spending do not neatly predict outcomes here: Eastlake Middle has the highest poverty rate but the best results. Attendance partly tracks performance, but not perfectly.
