Summary:
The 45805 zip code area in Ohio is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Heritage Elementary School and Maplewood Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Lima West Middle School). The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between these schools, with Maplewood Elementary standing out as the highest-performing school in the area.
Maplewood Elementary is ranked in the top third of Ohio elementary schools and significantly outperforms Heritage Elementary on state test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 4th grade math, 83% of Maplewood students scored proficient or better compared to only 40% at Heritage. Maplewood also has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% compared to 38.8% at Heritage.
The data also reveals funding disparities, with Lima West Middle School spending significantly less per student ($7,928) compared to the elementary schools ($9,926 at Heritage and $9,792 at Maplewood). This may be a factor in the weaker performance at the middle school level. Additionally, Maplewood is part of the higher-performing Shawnee Local district, while Heritage is in the lower-ranked Lima City district.
