Summary:

Zip code 45356 covers Piqua, Ohio, and contains six schools — two elementary schools serving grades K–3, two middle schools serving grades 4–6 and 7–8, and two high schools serving grades 9–12 and 6–12, with no alternative schools — enrolling a combined 4,057 students, five of them within Piqua City and one, Upper Valley Career Center, operating as its own district.

Among the standouts, Piqua Junior High School is the strongest-ranked school in the list at 3 stars and the 54th percentile, with Algebra I at 100% proficient in 2025–2026 versus the state's 61.6%, and 7th and 8th grade math both above state — though its ELA scores sit below state. Piqua High School has all six reported End-of-Course subjects at or above state in 2025–2026 and a 92.9% graduation rate, but Geometry is only 43.7% proficient and chronic absenteeism is 33.8%, about one in three students and far above the district's 24.4%. Piqua Central Intermediate School posted a notable 6th grade math result of 69.1% versus the state's 56.2%, a large jump from 49.4% the year before.

Elementary results split sharply. Washington Primary Elementary School leads the elementary group with 3rd grade math at 55.5% and ELA at 60.3% — below state but above the district — and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 17.8%. Springcreek Primary Elementary School shows the weakest results and the steepest decline, with 3rd grade math falling from 62.6% to 39.3% and ELA from 54.6% to 47.4%. Upper Valley Career Center is the largest single school at 988 students but has no test score, ranking, or graduation data here. Free/reduced lunch is blank for all Piqua City schools, spending figures date to 2018–2019, and rankings exist for only two of the six schools, so comparisons are directional rather than definitive.
