Summary:
The 45120 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Felicity-Franklin Local school district. While the Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools, the Felicity-Franklin Local High School lags behind, ranking in the bottom 40% of Ohio high schools.
The elementary school excels, with students scoring significantly above state averages on standardized tests and the school maintaining relatively low chronic absenteeism rates. In contrast, the high school struggles, with test scores lagging the state averages, particularly in subjects like Geometry. The middle school falls somewhere in the middle, with mixed performance compared to state benchmarks.
Across the district, high poverty rates, with 42-97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, present challenges. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with all three schools reporting rates around 29%. While per-student spending is relatively consistent, the stark differences in performance suggest the district may need to re-evaluate how it allocates resources to address the unique needs of each school community.
