Summary:
The 44130 zip code area is home to 7 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, spread across two school districts - Berea City and Parma City. While the schools exhibit varying levels of academic performance, a few standouts emerge, including Big Creek Elementary School and Berea-Midpark Middle School, which consistently rank among the top schools in Ohio.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance, with Summit Academy Community School-Parma, an alternative school, struggling with very low proficiency rates, while schools like Big Creek Elementary and Berea-Midpark Middle excel, with strong test scores and high rankings. This disparity highlights the need for targeted support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by alternative schools in the area.
Socioeconomic factors also appear to play a role, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance. Chronic absenteeism is another concern, with rates ranging from 15.3% at Pleasant Valley Elementary to 54.7% at Summit Academy Community School-Parma. Addressing attendance issues and providing equitable educational opportunities for all students should be a priority for the schools in the 44130 zip code area.
