Summary:
ZIP code 45769 covers Pomeroy, the seat of Meigs County in southeastern Ohio, and contains two public schools — Meigs Middle School (grades 6–8, 350 students) and Meigs High School (grades 9–12, 542 students) — both part of the Meigs Local district, with 892 students combined.
The two schools look quite different once you get past the district's overall 1-star, 20th-percentile rating. Meigs Middle School is the brighter spot, earning 2 stars and a rank in the 36th percentile of Ohio middle schools, with test scores averaging about 10 points below the state. Meigs High School sits in the 16th percentile of high schools, with scores roughly 20 points below the state. Its strongest results are in English II, where 58.8% of students were proficient — close to the state's 62.7% — and American History, which gained 15.5 points in a year. Math is the clear weak point: only 14.2% of students met the standard in Geometry and 27.8% in Algebra I. Attendance also separates the campuses, with 33.7% of middle schoolers and 50.5% of high schoolers chronically absent.
For families, the biggest practical takeaways are attendance and graduation. The high school's 82.4% graduation rate means roughly 1 in 6 students does not finish in four years, and the two schools together suggest students enter middle school stronger than they leave high school. A few gaps in the data are worth knowing: free- and reduced-lunch figures are not available for either school, the 2025–2026 middle school results cover only grades 6 and 7 math and English, and per-student spending figures date back to 2018–2019.
