Summary:
The 45714 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school), and no middle schools or alternative schools. The standout performer in this group is Belpre Elementary School, which maintains strong academic proficiency rates across multiple subjects and earns a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Belpre High School struggles in mathematics, with proficiency rates below the state average in Geometry and Algebra I, despite performing well in other subject areas and achieving a solid 87.5% four-year graduation rate.
A concerning trend across all three schools is the alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This issue may be exacerbated by the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates at Belpre Elementary School (51.28%) and Belpre High School (54.55%), indicating a student population facing significant economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the schools in the Belpre City district maintain reasonable student-teacher ratios and per-student spending levels that are in line with the state average.
Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in the 45714 zip code area. While Belpre Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, the high chronic absenteeism rates and economic disadvantages faced by the student population across all schools present significant challenges that the district will need to address to ensure equitable educational opportunities and improved student outcomes.
