Summary:
The city of Minford, Ohio is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Minford Middle School, Minford Primary Elementary School, and Minford High School. These schools, part of the Minford Local district, serve a predominantly white student population and face challenges related to socioeconomic factors and attendance.
Minford Middle School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Ohio middle schools with a 3-star rating. The school excels in state test performance, particularly in math and English Language Arts. In contrast, Minford Primary Elementary School faces significant economic hardship, with an extremely high 99.28% free/reduced lunch rate. However, the elementary school outperforms the state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with rates ranging from 20.9% at the elementary school to a high of 39.4% at the high school. While the schools generally perform well on state tests, there are some areas, such as 6th-8th grade English Language Arts, where proficiency rates lag behind the state averages. Addressing these attendance and academic challenges could help the Minford school district better support the needs of its students and improve educational outcomes.
