Summary:

ZIP code 44149 covers five schools in Strongsville, Ohio — four elementary buildings and one high school serving about 3,471 students combined, with grades K–5, K–2, and 9–12 covered but no middle school inside the ZIP. Four of the five schools belong to Strongsville City, which ranks #94 of 773 Ohio districts (88th percentile, 4 stars); the fifth, Strongsville Academy, is a small standalone K–2 school with no district rank and no test records.

Strongsville High School is the ZIP's flagship with 1,842 students — 53% of all enrollment — and a 2025-2026 rank of #54 of 795 Ohio high schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), plus a 98.9% graduation rate. Among elementaries, Muraski Elementary School has the strongest and steadiest record, beating the state in every reported subject and staying close to its district on all measures. Surrarrer Elementary School is the biggest improver, climbing roughly 180 places in a year while spending the least ($11,619 per student). Kinsner Elementary School is the largest elementary at 643 students with the ZIP's lowest absenteeism (5.7%), though its rank has slipped from 88th to 84th percentile.

The clearest split is by school level. All three district elementaries post chronic absenteeism between 5.7% and 7.6% — well under the district's 13.6% — while the high school posts 21.0%. Grade 4 math is a ZIP-wide strength, with all three elementaries around 92–93% proficient against a state figure of 67.3%. Strongsville Academy stands out for need rather than results: 41.54% free/reduced lunch and 15.6% absenteeism, with no published test data because it stops at grade 2.

Key insights: Every school with test data beats the state in every reported subject. The high school's two below-district results — Algebra I (83.5 vs. 88.7) and Geometry (75.8 vs. 77.5) — are the only places any school trails its district. American History swung +23.7 points year over year, likely a single-cohort effect. Grade-level trends move in different directions at different schools, and spending figures are from 2018-2019, so resource comparisons are suggestive only.
