Best Public Schools in Cortland, OH

The city of Cortland, Ohio is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in the Lakeview Local and Maplewood Local districts stand out as the highest-performing in the area, with Lakeview High School and Maplewood High School ranking among the top 50 high schools in Ohio.

The data shows that the schools in these top-performing districts generally have excellent test scores, high graduation rates, and low chronic absenteeism. For example, 4th graders at Maplewood Elementary School scored an impressive 97.8% proficient or better in math. However, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the elementary/middle schools and high schools within the same districts, with the high schools outperforming the lower grades.

While the schools in the Mathews Local district do not appear to be as strong, the data suggests that increased funding and a focus on addressing chronic absenteeism could help improve student outcomes across the city of Cortland. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity in the schools is an area that could benefit from further exploration and potential initiatives to promote a more inclusive learning environment.
