Summary:
The 45404 zip code area of Ohio is home to 3 elementary schools serving grades K-8, with varying academic performance and student demographics. Pathway School of Discovery, a public charter school, and Kiser Elementary School, a public school, struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism, while Brantwood Elementary School, a public school, demonstrates stronger academic performance and lower absenteeism rates.
Pathway School of Discovery, the largest of the three with 784 students, has a diverse student population but consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.3% and mixed test scores suggest the need for targeted interventions to address learning gaps. In contrast, Brantwood Elementary, with 353 students, has a majority White student population and performs at or above state and district averages in Math and ELA, indicating stronger academic achievement.
The schools in the 45404 zip code also face socioeconomic challenges, with Pathway School of Discovery having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 85.2%, compared to 57.79% at Brantwood Elementary. This disparity in funding and resources may contribute to the observed performance differences between the schools. Addressing these inequities and providing targeted support to the struggling schools could lead to improved educational outcomes for the students in this community.
