Summary:
The city of Continental, Ohio is home to two schools - Continental Local Elementary School and Continental Local High School, both part of the Continental Local school district. While the elementary school is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top in the state, the high school appears to be more of an average performer with mixed test scores.
Continental Local Elementary School boasts exceptional academic outcomes, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on state tests, often 20-30 percentage points above state averages. The school has received high ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 105 elementary schools in Ohio, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.1%. In contrast, Continental Local High School has more mixed test scores, with some subjects lagging behind state averages, and its overall state ranking has declined in recent years.
Both schools serve student populations that are predominantly white, with relatively low racial/ethnic diversity. Additionally, a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with high free/reduced lunch rates. The spending per student is fairly consistent between the elementary and high school, but the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher at the high school, which could be an area to explore further. Overall, the data suggests that while Continental Local Elementary School is a standout performer, there may be opportunities for improvement at the high school level within the Continental Local school district.
