Summary:
The 45044 zip code area is home to 9 diverse elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 6th or 8th grade. These schools include a mix of public and public charter institutions, with a range of academic performance and student demographics.
The top-performing schools in the area are Woodland Elementary School and Independence Elementary School, both part of the Lakota Local school district. These schools consistently rank among the best in Ohio, with exceptional test scores and low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, schools like Rosa Parks Elementary School and Summit Acdy Community School for Alternative Learners of Middletown struggle with lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism.
The data reveals a clear correlation between student demographics, socioeconomic status, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of minority and low-income students, such as Rosa Parks Elementary and Middletown Preparatory & Fitness Academy, tend to have the lowest test scores and highest chronic absenteeism rates. Interestingly, spending per student does not appear to be a strong predictor of school performance, as the highest-spending school is not the top performer.
