Summary:
The 45628 zip code area is home to three schools - Adena Elementary School, Adena High School, and Adena Middle School - all part of the Adena Local School District. While the district faces significant challenges, a few standout schools and key insights can be gleaned from the data.
Adena Elementary School stands out for its consistent top 50% ranking among Ohio elementary schools, though it only has a 2-star rating. The school excels in 5th grade English Language Arts, with 77.3% of students proficient or better. In contrast, Adena High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 92.2% and strong performance in American Government, but struggles with lower proficiency rates in subjects like Geometry and Algebra I. Adena Middle School, on the other hand, has particularly low proficiency rates in 8th grade Mathematics, with only 14.8% of students proficient or better.
Across the district, there are concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of around 18.1% and significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rate of 99.47% at the elementary school. These factors likely contribute to the district's overall underperformance, with all three schools consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Ohio. Addressing these systemic issues, including disparities in academic achievement, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism, should be the district's top priorities as it works to improve student outcomes.
