Summary:
ZIP code 45682, which covers South Webster in southern Ohio, has just one high school: South Webster Junior/Senior High School, a 7th–12th grade building with 332 students in the Bloom-Vernon Local district. Because it is the only school serving these grades locally, there is nothing to compare it against within the ZIP code — so the useful comparison is between this school and Ohio as a whole.
By that measure, it performs very well. South Webster scored above the state average on all 11 tested assessments in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — 22 out of 22 comparisons. Averaged across subjects, about 79.9% of students were proficient in 2025–2026 versus roughly 60.2% statewide, and the gap widened from the prior year. The strongest results are in middle-grades math: 7th grade math at 85.7% (state 48.6%) and 8th grade math at 87.5% (state 52.0%). High school end-of-course results are more modest — geometry at 47.5% and English II at 68.3% still beat the state, but only narrowly, and geometry is the only assessment below 50% proficient. The school's state rank rose to 212 of 795 high schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars), up from 289 of 855 the year before.
Other measures tell a mixed story. The graduation rate is 96%, and the student-teacher ratio is 15:1. Chronic absenteeism, however, is 22.2% — 7.2 points worse than the district's 15.0% — which stands out against otherwise strong outcomes. Per-student spending of $9,241 dates to 2018–2019 and should not be treated as current, and no free/reduced-lunch figure is available, so results cannot be put in socioeconomic context. With roughly 50–55 students per grade, year-to-year swings can reflect very small groups.
