Summary:
The 45660 zip code area is home to two schools - Peebles Elementary School and Peebles High School, both part of the Adams County Ohio Valley Local school district. While Peebles High School has maintained a respectable performance, ranking in the top half of Ohio high schools, Peebles Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 694th out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 917th out of 1,558 in 2024-2025.
Both schools face challenges, with high rates of chronic absenteeism at 27.7% for both the elementary and high school levels. This is an area of concern that requires further investigation. Academically, the schools generally perform below state and district averages on Ohio state assessments, with some exceptions, such as Peebles High School outperforming the state and district in 8th grade science, American government, and American history.
The student demographics in the area indicate a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 65.71% of Peebles Elementary students and 61.93% of Peebles High School students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the need for targeted support and interventions to ensure these students have the resources and opportunities to succeed. Overall, the data highlights both areas of strength and areas for improvement within the Peebles school system, and addressing the declining performance at the elementary level, the high chronic absenteeism rates, and the achievement gaps for economically disadvantaged students should be priorities for the district moving forward.
