For parents, the standout schools are clear. Memorial Drive Elementary is the top performer, ranking in the 100th percentile statewide with nearly all reading and math scores above 90% proficient. Memorial Middle shows consistent excellence, ranking in the 98th-99th percentile and achieving a remarkable 98.71% proficiency in Algebra I. Memorial High School is the only high school and performs very well, with a 95.3% graduation rate and a low 0.8% dropout rate. Other strong elementary schools include Frostwood Elementary (61st in state), Bunker Hill Elementary (159th), and Hunters Creek Elementary (233rd). Bendwood School is a unique outlier with only 41 students, a high free/reduced lunch rate of 58.54%, and extraordinarily high per-student spending of $83,425, suggesting it serves students with significant needs.
Key metrics show a total enrollment of 6,817 students and an average student-teacher ratio of 15.6:1. A notable finding is that 7th-grade math is a universal weak point across both middle schools, with proficiency rates as low as 28.66% at Spring Branch Middle. However, Algebra I is a gateway to success, with both middle schools achieving over 97% proficiency in this subject. The data also reveals a clear correlation between lower poverty rates and higher test scores, with the highest-performing schools having the lowest free/reduced lunch percentages, highlighting the challenge of educational equity within the same zip code.
