Summary:
ZIP code 45813 covers Antwerp, Ohio, a small community served by three public schools — all part of the single Antwerp Local district and all sharing one PreK–12 campus on S. Harrmann Road: Antwerp Local Elementary School (PK–5, 345 students), Antwerp Local Middle School (6–8, 142 students), and Antwerp Local High School (9–12, 178 students), totaling 665 students.
Comparing the three buildings, the middle school is the clear standout: it ranks 68th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars) and has improved for three straight years. It beat the state average on all 8 reported measures, including 100% proficiency on 8th-grade Algebra I versus 61.6% statewide. The elementary school also scores well — above state in 6 of 7 tested subjects, often by 12 to 26 points — but its statewide percentile has slipped from 91st to 75th in two years. The high school has fallen furthest, from the 86th percentile two years ago to the 51st percentile (3 stars) now, essentially the median Ohio high school, though its graduation rate is 100%.
Across the district, test performance shrinks as students move up: the middle school averages about 26 points above state, the high school under 5. Science is the one consistent soft spot — 5th-grade science is below state, and high school Biology is 10.2 points below state and fell 14.3 points in a year. Chronic absenteeism is low at all three schools (11.2–13.2%). The high school spends the most per student ($13,208 in 2018-19) with the smallest classes yet ranks lowest, while the middle school spends the least yet ranks highest. Nearly all high schoolers (98.31%) are eligible for free/reduced lunch.
