Summary:

The 45658 zip code has just one school, Southwestern Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 157 students. The school is part of the Gallia County Local school district, which is ranked 525 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Southwestern Elementary School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the Gallia County Local district and the state of Ohio overall. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 557 and 685 out of over 1,500 Ohio elementary schools in recent years, placing it in the top 40% of schools. Southwestern Elementary's proficiency rates on Ohio state tests are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 77.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, compared to 69.1% statewide.

However, the school's 25.5% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024-2025 is concerning and likely an area for improvement. The school spent $10,676 per student in 2018-2019, which is slightly above the state average, and had a favorable 12.6 student-teacher ratio in 2023-2024. Without data on free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic makeup of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance.
