Summary:
ZIP code 44622 is served by five public schools — three elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school covering pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — all within the Dover City district, with a combined enrollment of roughly 2,658 students. The district overall ranks 229 of 773 in Ohio, placing it at the 70th percentile with 4 stars, and enrollment is spread fairly evenly among the three elementaries, while the high school is the largest single building at 823 students.
The strongest academic profiles are at the K–8 level. Dover Avenue Elementary School stands out with the best tested results: 5th grade math at 82.6% proficient versus 59.1% statewide, plus strong science, 4th grade math, and 5th grade English results, an improved 4-star rank at the 73rd percentile, and absenteeism of 7.3%. Dover Middle School has the highest current rank in the ZIP — 250 of 1046, the 76th percentile, 4 stars — with particularly strong science and math scores. East Elementary School reports the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 5.0%, less than half the district rate, despite having the highest student-teacher ratio at 21.3.
The main concerns are at the high school. Dover High School ranks 56th percentile with 3 stars — below the district — and its math results lag the state: Geometry at 41.2% versus 43.3%, and Algebra I at 52.8% versus 61.6%, a drop from the prior year. Its chronic absenteeism of 19.7% is the highest in the ZIP and well above the 12.0% district rate, though American History, American Government, Biology, and English II are all comfortably above state averages. Note that South Elementary School has no current test scores listed, East and South have only older rankings, and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, so comparisons on poverty and recent trends for those schools are limited.
