Summary:
Zip code 45844 covers Fort Jennings, Ohio, where two public schools serve local families through the Jennings Local district: Fort Jennings Elementary School for grades K–5 with 148 students, and Fort Jennings High School for grades 6–12 with 174 students, for a combined enrollment of 322. There is no standalone middle school, so middle-grade results appear under the high school.
Both schools achieve well above state norms. Fort Jennings High School is the higher-ranked of the two, at 111th of 795 Ohio high schools (86th percentile, 4 stars) with a 100% graduation rate, and it exceeded the state on 12 of 13 reported tests, typically by roughly 20 percentage points. Fort Jennings Elementary School ranks 304th of 1,560 elementary schools (81st percentile, 4 stars) and beat the state on all seven of its tests, with especially strong 4th- and 5th-grade reading and math results. The Jennings Local district as a whole ranks in the 87th percentile with 4 stars.
Attendance is the clearest contrast between the two schools: chronic absenteeism is 3.6% at the elementary school but 9.9% at the high school, which is above the district rate of 6.8%. The high school's only below-state result is Geometry, at 42.4 versus the state's 43.3 — a gap of under one point. Both schools have moved up in the rankings over the past three years, with the elementary school improving from 3 stars to 4. Because enrollments are small, year-to-year score swings can reflect just a few students and are best read with caution. Note that the high school's free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported, so it should not be treated as zero.
