The 45042 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spanning the Middletown City and Madison Local school districts. While the performance of these schools varies, a few standouts emerge, particularly within the Madison Local district.
Madison Elementary School ranks in the top 35% of Ohio elementary schools, with strong test scores and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 17%. Similarly, Madison High School and Madison Junior High rank in the top 50% and 30% of their respective school types, boasting impressive graduation rates, test scores, and overall performance. In contrast, schools within the Middletown City district, such as Wildwood Elementary and Middletown Middle School, struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The data also reveals significant disparities in performance between the elementary schools, with Miller Ridge Elementary and Madison Elementary outperforming Wildwood Elementary and Central Academy Nongraded Elementary. Additionally, spending per student does not necessarily correlate with better outcomes, as evidenced by Madison High School spending the most per student but only being a 2-star school, while Middletown Middle School spends the least per student but has similar performance to the higher-spending Madison Junior High.
