Summary:

ZIP code 45680 covers South Point, Ohio, and is home to five schools — two elementary schools serving PK–5, one middle school serving grades 6–8, and two high schools (one serving grades 9–12 and one serving 7–12) — with no alternative schools and a combined enrollment of 1,428 students. Four of the five are operated by South Point Local, while Tri-State STEM+M School is its own district; both districts sit at the 37th percentile statewide with 2 stars.

Elementary performance is clearly stronger here. Burlington Elementary School is the standout, in the 63rd percentile with 3 stars and the highest proficiency average in the area (about 70.7%), including ELA 3 at 77.4% and Math 4 at 74.5%. South Point Elementary School sits in the 52nd percentile with 3 stars and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP code at 11.6%, with 5th-grade ELA at 83.0% and math at 75.5% — but its rank has slid from the 69th percentile in 2023–2024 to 52nd now, and its 4th-grade ELA (56.1%) and math (59.6%) trail the state.

Secondary schools lag. South Point Middle School (30th percentile, 1 star) has the highest absenteeism at 24.1% and low math and science scores, though its Algebra I result of 88.2% is remarkably high. South Point High School (28th percentile, 1 star) jumped in Algebra I from 22.7% to 61.2% but fell sharply in Geometry, from 26.3% to 15.5%, against a state mark of 43.3%. Tri-State STEM+M School (43rd percentile, 2 stars) posts a 100% graduation rate with strong English II (76.9%) and American Government (78.3%) results, but Algebra I is 34.8%; with only 85 students, its figures swing easily.
