Summary:
ZIP code 45144 covers Manchester, Ohio, where two schools serve the area — Manchester Elementary School (grades PK–6, 352 students) and Manchester High School (grades 7–12, 335 students) — both part of the Manchester Local district, which is ranked 447 of 773 districts (42nd percentile, 2 stars). Note that because there is no separate middle school, 7th and 8th grade results are reported at the high school.
The two schools have different profiles. Manchester Elementary's standout is Grade 5, where math scored 82.9 against a state 59.1 and science 73.2 against 62.7 — well above state in both years. But lower grades lag sharply: 3rd grade math was 34.1 versus 62.1, and 4th grade ELA 40.8 versus 61.8. That mix pushed the elementary school's rank down from 696 of 1558 (3 stars) to 881 of 1560 (2 stars). Manchester High's brightest spot is its 98.3% graduation rate, plus American Government at 81.8 versus 71.6. Its 7th and 8th grade math moved from below state to above state, though Geometry (22.1 vs. 43.3) and American History (61.4 vs. 73.2) remain weak.
Both schools carry the district's 2-star rating. Chronic absenteeism is 11.1% at the elementary school and 13.4% at the high school, against a district rate of 12.2%. Student-teacher ratios are similar (16.0 and 15.2), and per-student spending from 2018–19 was $8,097 and $8,980. Free/reduced-lunch figures are not available, so economic context is limited.
