Summary:
ZIP code 44643 covers Magnolia, Ohio, and is home to three public schools serving pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — Sandy Valley Elementary School (PK–5, 577 students), Sandy Valley Middle School (6–8, 263 students), and Sandy Valley High School (9–12, 414 students) — all part of the Sandy Valley Local district, which enrolls 1,254 students and ranks 405 out of 773 Ohio districts, or the 48th percentile, with 2 stars.
The middle school holds the strongest overall position: 388 out of 1,046, the 63rd percentile, 3 stars, with math results well above the state — 7th-grade math at 67.4% versus 48.6%, 8th-grade math at 68.4% versus 52%, and Algebra I at 86.7% versus 61.6% statewide and 50.6% districtwide. Its weak spot is 8th-grade science at 45.1%, down from 61.7% the prior year. The elementary school shows high peaks — 4th-grade math at 82.1% versus 67.3% statewide, 5th-grade science at 67.4% versus 62.7% — but several current scores fall below the state, including 5th-grade math (53%), 5th-grade ELA (65.6%), and 3rd-grade ELA (58.2%), and its rank slipped from the 74th to the 55th percentile. Its reported 100% 6th-grade math appears to be a data alignment issue rather than a straightforward school-wide strength.
The high school graduates 97.0% of its students and beats the state in American Government (77.6%) and English II (71.8%), yet it ranks 513 out of 795 — the 35th percentile, 2 stars — and trails the state in Algebra I (42.9% versus 61.6%), Geometry (32.3% versus 43.3%), and Biology (59.3% versus 67%). Its chronic absenteeism of 33.5% is far above the district's 19.9%, the middle school's 15.8%, and the elementary's 13.9%. Note that free/reduced-lunch information is not reported for these schools and spending figures date to 2018–2019. Taken together, the middle school is the academic strength, the elementary is uneven, and the high school is where improvement is most needed.
