Summary:
The 45895 zip code area is home to two middle schools - Wapakoneta Middle School and Wapakoneta Junior High, both part of the Wapakoneta City school district. Based on the available data, Wapakoneta Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Ohio middle schools and significantly outpacing state averages on standardized assessments.
Wapakoneta Middle School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years and has seen impressive results, with 83.2% of 5th-grade students scoring proficient or better in science, compared to the state average of 63.4%. In contrast, Wapakoneta Junior High has a lower statewide ranking, currently at 265 out of 1,036 schools (top 26%), and has only a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While it still outperforms the state average on assessments, the margins are not as wide as Wapakoneta Middle School.
The data also reveals some potential areas of concern, such as the relatively high free/reduced lunch rate at Wapakoneta Middle School (44.58%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, there is a notable difference in per-student spending between the two schools, with Wapakoneta Middle School spending $6,764 per student compared to $4,491 per student at Wapakoneta Junior High. Further investigation into the reasons for this funding gap and its potential impact on student outcomes could provide valuable insights.
