Summary:
ZIP code 44440 contains one high school, Mineral Ridge High School, serving grades 7–12 in the Weathersfield Local district in Ohio, with 409 students. It is a small-school setting that blends middle-grades tests with high school end-of-course exams. The district ranks 118th of 773 Ohio districts (85th percentile, 4 stars), and the school ranks 136th of 795 (83rd percentile, 4 stars). Its rank history shows a downward trend: 44th of 864, 95th percentile, 5 stars in 2023–2024; 89th of 855, 90th percentile, 4 stars in 2024–2025; and 136th of 795, 83rd percentile, 4 stars in 2025–2026. The reported graduation rate is 100.0% for both the school and district.
Academically, the school outperformed the state in all 11 reported tests in 2025–2026. Standouts include American Government EOC at 95.9% vs. 71.6%, 7th Grade ELA at 88.4% vs. 62.7%, Algebra I EOC at 83.8% vs. 61.6%, American History EOC at 87.8% vs. 73.2%, English II EOC at 80.8% vs. 62.7%, and Biology EOC at 80.6% vs. 67.0%. The smallest margins are Geometry at 47.7% vs. 43.3% and Mathematics 8 at 53.1% vs. 52.0%. District and school scores are identical for every listed test, so district results in these grades and subjects are effectively the school’s results.
Key concerns are mathematics and absenteeism. 8th Grade Mathematics fell from 76.3% in 2024–2025 to 53.1% in 2025–2026, while its gap over the state shrank from +28.7 points to +1.1 points. Geometry is the weakest relative subject at 47.7%, only 4.4 points above the state. Chronic absenteeism is 24.5% at the school versus 17.0% in the district—7.5 percentage points higher—so nearly 1 in 4 students is chronically absent. About 45.23% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio is 13.6:1, and per-student spending is $9,189 from 2018–2019. Because the school has only 409 students across grades 7–12, individual grade cohorts are small, so single-year swings may reflect cohort differences rather than broad instructional changes.
