Summary:
The 45772 zip code area is home to two schools - Eastern Elementary School and Eastern High School, both part of the Eastern Local district. While the elementary school demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in science and English Language Arts, the high school struggles to meet state standards, especially in mathematics and science.
At the elementary level, Eastern Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on state assessments, with 5th-grade science proficiency rates exceeding the state average by 10 percentage points. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36%. In contrast, Eastern High School has a graduation rate of 88.9%, but its state assessment performance lags behind, with 8th-grade math proficiency at just 20% compared to the state average of 47.6%. Like the elementary school, Eastern High School also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 36%.
Both schools serve a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 57.58% at the elementary school and 46.04% at the high school. This suggests that the schools face socioeconomic challenges that may require additional resources, support, and targeted programs to ensure students have the necessary tools to succeed academically. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and improving academic performance, particularly at the high school level, should be key priorities for these schools and the district.
