The standout school is Poth High School, an academic powerhouse with a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. Its performance on End-of-Course exams is exceptional, with 92.42% of students proficient in English II Reading and 85.25% in Biology—dramatically higher than state averages. The high school also benefits from an excellent 10:1 student-teacher ratio. The feeder school, Poth J H, is a math and science leader, where 100% of 8th graders taking Algebra I were proficient—53 points above the state average—and 76.83% were proficient in 8th-grade Science. Poth Elementary provides a consistent foundation, outperforming the state in every grade and subject, with a strong 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio and 70.83% proficiency in 5th-grade Math.
A key finding is the district's strong "Algebra I Pipeline," where middle school success directly feeds high school performance, though a slight dip in high school Algebra I proficiency (54.84%) compared to the middle school's perfect scores suggests a targeted area for improvement. Overall, the district's small size, low student-teacher ratios (10:1 to 14.5:1), and consistent outperformance across all subjects—from 3rd-grade reading to high school U.S. History—indicate a cohesive culture of academic achievement. With a total enrollment of 962 students and a free/reduced lunch rate around 30-32%, the data shows a system where students are well-supported and engaged, making it a top choice for families in the area.
