Summary:
ZIP code 45806 is home to 7 schools — 3 elementary, 1 middle, and 3 high schools (including a career center) — serving roughly 3,691 students across Shawnee Local, Perry Local, Wapakoneta City, and Apollo, with test scores mostly from 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
Shawnee High School is the academic standout, ranking in the 88th percentile with 4 stars, a 94.4% graduation rate, and scores above the state in every reported End-of-Course test. Shawnee Middle School (75th percentile, 4 stars) is also strong — all 11 reported tests beat the state, including a striking 100% Algebra I proficiency in both years. By contrast, Perry High School has the highest graduation rate (98.3%) but also the highest chronic absenteeism (25.3%) and very weak Geometry (18% vs. 43.3% state). Cridersville Elementary School is the clearest equity concern: the highest reported free/reduced-lunch rate (60.74%), the lowest per-pupil spending ($8,038), and 4th-grade ELA proficiency of just 38.5%, below both its district and the state in every tested subject. Perry Elementary School sits mostly below state as well, with only 2 of 9 tests above it.
Some schools can't be compared academically here. Elmwood Elementary School serves K–2, so no state test scores exist, though it has the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.3%). Apollo Career Center reports no test, rank, attendance, or lunch data, and its 11:1 student-teacher ratio may reflect its specialized role. Free/reduced-lunch figures are missing for Apollo and both Perry schools. Spending data is from 2018–2019, so treat it as historical. Notably, poverty does not fully predict results: Shawnee Middle posts high proficiency despite a 40.17% free/reduced-lunch rate.
