Schools in Zip Code 45159

ZIP code 45159 covers New Vienna, Ohio, and contains just one public school — New Vienna Elementary School, a PK–5 building with 252 students — meaning families in this small community have a single neighborhood option rather than a choice among schools, served by the East Clinton Local district.

The school's clearest strength is attendance: its chronic absenteeism rate of 9.8% is less than half its own district's 20.3%, the largest school-versus-district gap in the data. Grade 3 is the academic engine. Third-grade math reached 84.6% proficient — the highest score anywhere in the record, 22.5 points above the state (62.1%) and slightly above the district (84.1%) — while third-grade ELA hit 75%, above both the district (73%) and the state (63.4%). The building also outranks its own district statewide: 56th percentile with 3 stars, versus the district's 48th percentile and 2 stars.

The tension is that New Vienna trails its own district in 5 of 7 tested subjects in 2025-2026, and while 3 of 7 measures beat the state, only 2 of 7 beat the district — suggesting results should be read against East Clinton's benchmarks, not just statewide ones. Grade 5 is the weak spot (math 56.8%, science 56.8%), and grade 5 math fell 25.6 points from the prior year, a swing larger than typical year-to-year noise. Grade 4 ELA is the persistent soft spot, below state in both years. The school's statewide percentile has drifted from 69 to 60 to 56 even as its 3-star rating held steady. A 15.2:1 student-teacher ratio is the only current resource figure; the $9,494 per-student spending number dates to 2018-2019, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported.
