Nelsonville-York Junior High School up 41 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 45764 in Nelsonville contains four schools serving students from preschool through grade 12 — one elementary, one junior high, and two high schools — with three of them in Nelsonville-York City (PK-12) and one, Tri-County Career Center Building (grades 11-12), operating as a separate career-center district. Total enrollment is 1,566: 976 students in Nelsonville-York City and 590 at the career center, which is the largest single school in the ZIP but has no test, rank, absenteeism, graduation, or spending data in this extract.

Among the Nelsonville-York schools, Nelsonville-York Elementary School is the strongest: ranked 908/1560 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) with the lowest chronic absenteeism at 30.0%. Its grades 3-5 math scores are above state, but all grades 3-5 English language arts scores are below state, with 4th-grade ELA at 46.2% versus 61.8% statewide. Nelsonville-York Junior High School stands out for Algebra I at 88.2% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, though most other subjects trail the state and absenteeism is 42.0%. Nelsonville-York High School is the lowest-ranked at 687/795 (14th percentile, 1 star); every 2025-26 End-of-Course subject is below state, including Algebra I (8.8% vs. 61.6%) and Geometry (16.2% vs. 43.3%), with the highest absenteeism at 44.1% and an 89.2% graduation rate.

The district overall ranks 616/773 (20th percentile, 1 star) with 36.8% chronic absenteeism, and absenteeism climbs with grade level — 30.0% elementary, 42.0% junior high, 44.1% high school. Algebra I is the sharpest split: 88.2% at the junior high versus 8.8% at the high school, which likely reflects different student groups taking the test. Spending figures are from 2018-19 and do not line up with outcomes — the high school spent the most ($10,000) and ranked lowest, while the junior high spent the least ($6,948). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so poverty comparisons cannot be made; missing fields are unknown, not zero.
