Summary:

Zip code 44288 covers Windham, Ohio, and has 3 public schools serving grades PK through 12 — one elementary, one junior high, and one high school — all part of the Windham Exempted Village district, with 454 students in total. Katherine Thomas Elementary School (PK–4) is the largest at 196 students, followed by Windham Junior High School (5–8) at 151 and Windham High School (9–12) at 107. The district overall ranks 619th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 20th percentile with 1 star, but that single rating hides real differences between the three schools.

Windham Junior High is the relative bright spot, at the 36th percentile with 2 stars and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 25.1%, compared with 32.2% at the elementary school and 43.3% at the high school. Its 5th-grade English Language Arts score of 75.0% proficient is above the state's 70.4%, a large jump from 45.2% the year before, though 6th-grade math sits at 22.2% versus 56.2% statewide. Katherine Thomas Elementary has a genuine strength in 4th-grade math — 71.1% proficient in 2025–2026 and 82.1% in 2024–2025, both above state — but 3rd-grade ELA is 39.3% against the state's 63.4%, and 3rd-grade math 42.9% against 62.1%.

Windham High has the standout graduation rate of 97.4%, yet also the lowest ranking (16th percentile, 1 star), the highest absenteeism at 43.3%, and below-state results on every reported End-of-Course test, including Geometry at 17.8% versus 43.3% and English II at 39.2% versus 62.7%. Two caveats matter: free/reduced-lunch data are blank for all three schools, and per-student spending figures are from 2018–2019. Because these are small schools, year-to-year swings in test percentages should be read cautiously.
