Best Public Schools in Zip Code 45169

ZIP code 45169 is home to three public schools — one elementary, one junior high, and one high school — all part of the East Clinton Local district in Ohio. Together they serve about 927 students across grades PK–12: Sabina Elementary School (PK–5, 375 students), East Clinton Junior High School (6–8, 268 students), and East Clinton High School (9–12, 284 students). The district overall ranks 399 of 773 Ohio districts, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars. Free and reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all three schools this year, so economic context is unavailable, and spending figures date back to 2018–2019.

Sabina Elementary School is the clear standout. In 2025–2026 it ranked 338 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 78th percentile with 4 stars — up from 68 percent and 3 stars two years earlier. It beats the state in every listed subject, including 5th-grade math at 83.7 versus 59.1 statewide and 5th-grade English language arts at 85.7 versus 70.4, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 16.8 percent, below the district's 20.3 percent.

The secondary schools face more challenges. East Clinton High School is the lowest-ranked school here at 571 of 795, the 28th percentile and 1 star. Its 95.6 percent graduation rate matches the district, but math proficiency is a serious weak spot: Geometry sits at 15.2 percent versus 43.3 percent statewide, and Algebra I at 44.8 percent versus 61.6 percent. Its chronic absenteeism is the group's highest at 31.6 percent. East Clinton Junior High School sits in between, at the 46th percentile with 2 stars and 23.6 percent chronic absenteeism, with mixed grade-level results but a notable 88.9 percent Algebra I End-of-Course score in 2024–2025.
