Summary:
Zip code 45831 in northwest Ohio is served by two schools — Continental Local Elementary School (grades K–6, 295 students) and Continental Local High School (grades 7–12, 194 students) — both part of the Continental Local district, with 489 students total and no separate middle school, since grades 7–8 are housed in the high school.
The elementary school is the stronger performer in absolute test scores. Every one of its 2025–2026 tests was above the state average, with standout math results such as 5th Grade Math at 93.1% proficient versus 59.1% statewide, 3rd Grade Math at 90.6% versus 62.1%, and 6th Grade Math at 89.5% versus 56.2%. Science is also a bright spot at 75.9% versus 62.7% state. However, its relative standing has slipped, from the 93rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 83rd percentile in 2025–2026, and its average test score dipped 2.4 points. English/language arts is the main concern: 6th Grade ELA fell 21.0 points year over year to 57.9%, only 1.9 points above the state average.
The high school is moving in the opposite direction, improving its test average from 64.4% to 71.9%, rising from the 59th to the 76th percentile and from 3 stars to 4 stars. Algebra I (93.5% vs. 61.6% state), English II (89.3% vs. 62.7%), and Biology (82.1% vs. 67.0%) are especially strong, and it posts a 100% graduation rate. Math is uneven, though: 7th Grade Math is excellent at 73.8% (state 48.6%), while 8th Grade Math (34.6% vs. 52.0%) and Geometry (33.3% vs. 43.3%) remain persistently below state. Both schools share similar profiles — about 38% free/reduced lunch, roughly $10,300–$10,400 per-student spending, student-teacher ratios near 14, and chronic absenteeism of about 6%.
