Summary:
The 45426 zip code in Trotwood, Ohio is home to a single high school, Trotwood-Madison High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data paints a concerning picture, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Ohio high schools and struggling with low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and significant racial disparities.
Trotwood-Madison High School has an enrollment of 770 students, the majority of whom are African American (88.57%). The school's 4-year graduation rate of 83.2% is lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 52.2% is alarmingly high. Academically, Trotwood-Madison students perform well below state averages on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 3.4% in Geometry to 51% in American History.
While the school spends slightly more per student ($10,886) and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (18.7) than the state average, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students. The persistent low performance, significant racial disparities, and high absenteeism suggest that the Trotwood-Madison City district and the broader community may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying challenges and improve educational opportunities for all students.
