Summary:
The 44890 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Willard Elementary School, Willard High School, and Willard Middle School - that serve a diverse student population. While the schools demonstrate some strengths, such as Willard Middle School's exceptional Algebra I performance and Willard High School's high graduation rate, they also face significant challenges in academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors.
Academically, the schools in the 44890 zip code struggle to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in English Language Arts and mathematics. Willard Elementary School lags behind in 3rd-grade ELA, while Willard Middle School shows mixed results, with strong 7th-grade ELA but low math proficiency in 6th and 8th grades. At the high school level, Willard High School has relatively low proficiency rates in Geometry and Algebra I. Across all three schools, chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 26.1% to 32.3%, which may contribute to the overall low academic performance.
Socioeconomic factors also play a significant role, with Willard City schools serving a high-need student population. Willard Elementary and Middle School have a substantial percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the need for additional resources and support. While Willard High School spends more per student than the other two schools, the overall low performance suggests the need for a more balanced approach to resource allocation across the district.
