Summary:
The city of Cardington, Ohio is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public charter school). The schools in this area show a mix of performance, with Cardington-Lincoln Middle School standing out as a top performer, while the Tomorrow Center charter high school lags significantly behind.
Cardington-Lincoln Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Ohio middle schools, with strong test scores, particularly in science and math. In contrast, Tomorrow Center, the public charter high school, is the lowest performing in the area, ranking in the bottom 3% of Ohio high schools with very low proficiency rates and a concerning 69% 4-year graduation rate. Cardington-Lincoln High School falls somewhere in the middle, with a high 97.3% 4-year graduation rate but mixed test scores.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism, particularly at Tomorrow Center at 45.6%. Additionally, math proficiency appears to be a weakness, with several schools scoring below the state average. The economic disadvantage faced by many students, as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates, may also be a factor in the schools' performance and should be considered when developing support strategies. Overall, the Cardington-Lincoln Local district has room for improvement, while the Tomorrow Center charter school faces significant challenges.
