Summary:
The 45879 zip code area has only one high school, Paulding High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Paulding Exempted Village school district. While the school has a high four-year graduation rate of 93%, it faces some academic and demographic challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, mixed test score performance, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%.
Academically, Paulding High School performs above the state average in American Government and English II, but significantly below the state average in subjects like Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I. This mixed performance suggests potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students (88.22%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present additional challenges in terms of resource allocation and student support.
Despite these challenges, Paulding High School's per-student spending of $10,050 is in line with the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 18.9 is slightly higher than the state average. With a focus on addressing the school's chronic absenteeism, improving academic performance in core subjects, and supporting its low-income student population, Paulding High School may be able to reverse its declining statewide ranking and better serve the educational needs of the 45879 zip code community.
