Summary:
The 45503 zip code area in Ohio is home to 9 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, spread across two school districts - Springfield City School District and Northeastern Local. While some standout schools like Kenton Ridge High School and Northridge Middle School demonstrate strong academic performance, the overall picture reveals significant disparities in school quality and student outcomes across the area.
Graduation rates range widely, from a concerning 38.3% at Cliff Park High School to a more promising 90% at Springfield High School. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates as high as 98.3% at Cliff Park High. Test scores generally lag state averages, with many schools scoring below 50% proficiency in core subjects. Socioeconomic factors appear to play a significant role, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance.
The data reveals a clear divide between the higher-performing Northeastern Local schools and the lower-performing Springfield City School District schools. Addressing the equity and achievement gaps in this area will likely require a multifaceted approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors, with a focus on improving attendance, resource allocation, and access to quality education for all students.
