Summary:
ZIP code 44440 covers Mineral Ridge in Trumbull County, Ohio, where a single district — Weathersfield Local — operates just two schools serving 887 students: Seaborn Elementary School for grades PK–6 (478 students) and Mineral Ridge High School for grades 7–12 (409 students), together forming a complete PK–12 pipeline.
The elementary is the clear standout. Seaborn Elementary School has earned 5 stars in each of the past three years and ranked #148 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025-26, placing it in the top 9% statewide. Its 2025-26 reading and math results ran about 22 points above the state average, with 4th grade math reaching 96.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3% — 6.7 points better than the district — and it achieves this with a leaner $7,679 per-student budget and larger classes (17:1) than the high school.
Mineral Ridge High School posts a 100% graduation rate and excellent civics results — American Government 95.9% and American History 87.8% — but its state ranking has slipped two years running, from the 95th to the 83rd percentile. Geometry proficiency is 47.7% and 8th grade math sits only 1.1 points above the state line, leaving a 48-point spread between its strongest and weakest subjects. Chronic absenteeism is 24.5%, more than double the elementary's. The most notable pattern is the drop in math and the rise in absences when students move from the 6th grade building to the 7–12 building — despite nearly identical free/reduced lunch rates (45.6% vs 45.2%) and more spending per student at the high school.
