Summary:
ZIP code 45347 is served by three schools in the National Trail Local district—National Trail Elementary School for K–4, National Trail Middle School for grades 5–8, and National Trail High School for grades 9–12—together enrolling 932 students in a single-district community. The district is ranked 323 of 773 schools, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars.
For parents comparing the three, National Trail Elementary School is the clearest standout. It has been 4 stars and at the 83rd percentile for three straight years, and in 2025-26 all four reported tests were above the state: 3rd Grade Math 76.7% vs. 62.1%, 4th Grade Math 85.5% vs. 67.3%, 3rd Grade ELA 79.5% vs. 63.4%, and 4th Grade ELA 83.1% vs. 61.8%. National Trail Middle School is more mixed: 3 stars and around the 59th percentile, with Algebra I at 100% in both 2024-25 and 2025-26 and 8th Grade Math and Science above the state in both years, but 5th grade math and science below the state in 2025-26. National Trail High School has 2 stars and the 36th percentile in the past two years, with a 100.0% graduation rate but Algebra I at 41.2% vs. state 61.6% and Geometry at 38.2% vs. state 43.3% in 2025-26.
Chronic absenteeism rises by level: 12.7% at the elementary, 15.0% at the middle, and 22.9% at the high school, which is above the district’s 16.1%. The high school also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.1) and highest historical per-student spending ($11,536 in 2018-19), while the elementary has the highest ratio (15.6) and lowest historical spending ($9,467), so resource data should be read cautiously and not as direct cause-and-effect. Free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported, and spending is from 2018-19, limiting a fuller picture. Overall, the elementary is the academic standout, the middle has advanced-math strengths but uneven results, and the high school combines a strong graduation rate and some subject strengths with persistent math gaps and higher absenteeism.
