Summary:
The 44130 zip code area in Ohio is home to 8 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Berea City and Parma City. While the schools exhibit a range of performance levels, a few stand out as top performers, including Big Creek Elementary School and Berea-Midpark Middle School, both in the Berea City district.
The data analysis reveals notable disparities in academic performance across the schools, with the Berea City district schools generally outperforming their Parma City counterparts. Big Creek Elementary stands out with consistently high proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, while Berea-Midpark Middle School excels in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. In contrast, the Summit Academy Community School-Parma, an alternative school, has significantly lower proficiency rates compared to state averages.
Socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, appear to play a role in the performance disparities, with schools in the Parma City district generally having higher rates. However, Big Creek Elementary manages to outperform its peers despite a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting that other factors may also contribute to the observed differences. Chronic absenteeism is another area of concern, with all schools in the 44130 zip code exhibiting relatively high rates, potentially impacting student learning and achievement.
