Summary:
The 45859 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Upper Scioto Valley Local school district. While the Upper Scioto Valley Elementary School stands out with strong performance on state tests, the middle and high schools show more mixed results, with some areas of strength and others needing improvement.
The elementary school excels in science, math, and English language arts, with 5th grade science proficiency rates exceeding the state average by over 9 percentage points. In contrast, the Upper Scioto Valley High School has seen improvements in American Government, American History, and Biology, but lags behind in Geometry and Algebra I. Across all schools, math proficiency appears to be an area of concern, with several grade levels and subjects falling below the state average.
A significant challenge facing the district is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.4% across all three schools, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the high school has a very high percentage (98%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic challenge. The district should focus on addressing these issues, as well as the potential staffing challenges at the middle school, to support better academic outcomes for all students in the 45859 zip code area.
