Summary:
ZIP code 45890 is served by just two schools — Vanlue High School (grades 6–12, 81 students) and Vanlue Elementary School (grades K–5, 49 students) — both in the small, rural Vanlue Local district, which together enroll 130 students and rank 525th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars.
Vanlue High School posts a 100.0% graduation rate, well above many peers in the state, and shows real subject-level strength: American Government at 85.7% proficient vs. the state's 72.6%, and 8th-grade Mathematics at 70.0% vs. 47.6% (a +22.4-point advantage). But results are uneven. Algebra I sits at 50.0% vs. 61.6% statewide, Geometry at 36.4% vs. 42.8%, and its latest overall rank is 581 of 795 — the 27th percentile with 1 star, down from 3 stars in the prior two years. Chronic absenteeism of 13.9% is also higher than the district's 9.5%.
Vanlue Elementary School looks strong on structure — a 4.8 student-teacher ratio (vs. 14.7 at the high school), 3.8% chronic absenteeism, and $18,705 per-student spending in 2018–19 vs. $15,144 at the high school — yet early-grade academics lag badly, with 3rd-grade Mathematics at 25.0% vs. the state's 62.1% and 3rd-grade English Language Arts at 41.7% vs. 63.4%. Its last available rank (2023–24) was 711 of 1577, the 55th percentile with 3 stars. Because both schools are tiny, percentages shift easily year to year. Free/reduced-lunch data for the elementary is not reported, and spending figures are historical, so some comparisons remain incomplete.
