Summary:
The 45786 zip code is home to two schools, Waterford Elementary School and Waterford High School, both part of the Wolf Creek Local school district. While Waterford Elementary excels in certain academic areas, both schools face challenges in terms of chronic absenteeism and test performance in some subjects.
Waterford Elementary School stands out for its strong performance on 3rd and 4th grade math and 3rd grade ELA tests, significantly exceeding the state averages. However, the school's 8th grade math and ELA scores lag behind the state. Waterford High School has an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, but its performance on end-of-course tests, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, is below the state average. Both schools have relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism at 14.0%, which may impact student learning and achievement.
The schools serve a community with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Spending per student is higher at the high school level ($10,949) compared to the elementary school ($9,932), and the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, with 13:1 at the elementary school and 10.9:1 at the high school, suggesting a focus on small class sizes.
