Summary:
The 44430 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a high-need population with elevated poverty levels, LaBrae High School stands out as a consistent performer, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting a 94.6% graduation rate. In contrast, LaBrae Middle School has struggled, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating over the past 3 years and underperforming the state average in several subjects.
LaBrae Intermediate School is another bright spot, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio elementary schools and outperforming the state average in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math and English language arts. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools reporting a chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7%, well above the state average.
Overall, the schools in the 44430 zip code area serve a high-need population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 55.56% at LaBrae High School to 76.13% at LaBrae Intermediate School. While LaBrae High School and LaBrae Intermediate School show promising performance, the district must address the challenges at the middle school level and the high rates of chronic absenteeism to ensure all students have access to a quality education. The LaBrae Local district should prioritize these areas to support the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.
