Summary:
ZIP code 44601 covers nine schools — five elementary, two middle, and two high schools serving about 4,398 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools sit in two districts: Alliance City, which enrolls roughly 2,761 students across five schools, and Marlington Local, with about 1,637 students across four schools. The two districts perform very differently: Marlington Local ranks 285 of 773 districts statewide (63rd percentile, 3 stars), while Alliance City ranks 625 of 773 (19th percentile, 1 star).
Marlington Local schools are the stronger group overall. Washington Elementary School is the standout, ranking in the 69th percentile with 3 stars in 2025-26, exceeding the state in all seven tested subjects, and posting the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 8.2%. Marlington Middle School ranks in the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the ZIP at 15.6, and low absenteeism at 12.0%. Marlington High School ranks 271 of 795 (66th percentile, 3 stars), graduates 95.6% of students, and scored above the state in all six end-of-course subjects in both years. Lexington Elementary School is also strong, though its 5th-grade science is 52.3.
Alliance City schools face bigger challenges. Alliance High School graduates 94.2% of students — close to Marlington High's 95.6% — but has the highest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 33.5%, and no end-of-course subject exceeded the state in 2025-26. Its Geometry score is 25.3 versus the state's 43.3. Alliance Intermediate School @ Northside's 5th-grade math is 27.4, and Alliance Middle School's 6th-8th grade math ranges from 33.7 to 35.8. Both middle schools report 100% Algebra I proficiency, which at Alliance stands out sharply against those grade-level results. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for every school, and spending figures are from 2018-19.
