Summary:
The 45414 zip code area in Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 0 alternative schools. The schools in this area face some significant challenges, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and potential district-level performance issues.
Among the standout schools is Smith Middle School, which ranks 568 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools and receives a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has relatively high test scores, with 68.6% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, 79.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, and 73% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8%. In contrast, Northridge Elementary School and Northridge High School struggle with much lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.3% proficient in 5th grade Science to 51.3% chronic absenteeism.
The schools in this area are part of the Northridge Local and Vandalia-Butler City school districts, both of which are ranked relatively low in the state. This suggests that the overall district performance may be a contributing factor to the low performance of the individual schools. Additionally, the data for the virtual high school, 3ea, shows a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.3%, indicating that this model may be more effective for certain students, though more data would be needed to draw definitive conclusions.
