Summary:
ZIP code 44278 covers Tallmadge, Ohio, where three public schools serve local families through the Tallmadge City district: Tallmadge Elementary School (K–5, 1,088 students), Tallmadge Middle School (6–8, 614 students), and Tallmadge High School (grades 8–12, 805 students). Because grade 8 appears at both the middle and high school, enrollment figures should not be added together as a unique student count. The district overall is rated 3 stars and sits at the 63rd percentile of Ohio districts, but performance varies a good deal from school to school.
Tallmadge Middle School is the academic standout: it earned 4 stars in each of the last three years and ranked at the 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, beating the state in nearly every subject — including Grade 8 math at 77.8% versus 52.0% statewide and Algebra I at 100% (likely an advanced cohort, so read with care). Tallmadge High School posts a 98.0% graduation rate and outperforms the state in every End-of-Course subject shown, including English II at 75.6% versus 62.7%. Its rank, however, has slipped from the 79th percentile and 4 stars to the 62nd percentile and 3 stars, and its chronic absenteeism of 20.7% is well above the district's 14.8%.
Tallmadge Elementary School sits mid-pack at the 51st percentile and 3 stars, with clear strengths in 5th grade ELA (78.4% versus 70.4% state) and 4th grade math (74.9% versus 67.3% state), but 3rd grade math (55.4% versus 62.1%) and ELA (60.1% versus 63.4%) fall below state averages and dropped from the prior year. It also has the lowest absenteeism of the three at 10.1%. In short, the middle school is the strongest performer, the high school combines excellent graduation outcomes with rising absenteeism, and the elementary school shows bright upper-grade results alongside early-grade concerns.
