Best Public Schools in Zip Code 44439

ZIP code 44439 is home to exactly one public school — Mesopotamia Elementary School, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 115 students in the Bloomfield-Mespo Local district. There are no middle schools, high schools, or alternative schools in the ZIP, so families here will need to look outside the area for options beyond fifth grade. With only one school, this is best understood as a single-school profile rather than a comparison among local schools.

Academically, results at Mesopotamia Elementary are highly uneven by grade. Third grade is the clear bright spot in 2025–2026: 81.8% of students were proficient in mathematics, well above the state's 62.1%, and 72.7% were proficient in English Language Arts, above the state's 63.4%. Fourth grade is mixed, with math at 63.6% (near the state's 67.3%) but ELA at 45.5%, below the state's 61.8%. Fifth grade is the weakest tested grade across every subject — math 26.3% versus the state's 59.1%, ELA 47.4% versus 70.4%, and science just 15.8% versus 62.7%.

There are real signs of momentum. The school's rank improved from the 21st percentile and 1 star in 2024–2025 to the 32nd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, with math and ELA proficiency rising in all tested grades — though fifth-grade science fell sharply from 36.8% to 15.8%. Two other factors deserve attention: chronic absenteeism stands at 43.8%, above the district's 40.9%, and 71.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The student-teacher ratio of 10:1 is a genuine asset. Because enrollment is so small, a one- or two-student change can swing a percentage dramatically, so year-to-year numbers should be read with caution.
