Summary:
The city of Orrville, Ohio is home to three public schools serving students from elementary through high school: Orrville Elementary School, Orrville Middle School, and Orrville High School. While the district as a whole performs reasonably well, Orrville City schools are highlighted by the standout performance of Orrville Middle School.
Orrville Middle School consistently ranks in the top 30% of Ohio middle schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel in standardized testing, with over 80% proficient or better in 5th grade Science and Math, significantly higher than state averages. In contrast, Orrville Elementary and High School have only received 3-star ratings, placing them in the middle of the pack statewide, though their test scores are still generally above state averages.
Across the district, student demographics are relatively homogeneous, with a majority white population and Hispanic students making up the next largest group. Chronic absenteeism is an area of concern, particularly at the middle school level. Additionally, a significant portion of students, 39-45%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need to ensure equitable access to resources and support. While spending per student varies across the schools, the district may benefit from further analysis to ensure resources are being allocated effectively and replicating the successful practices of Orrville Middle School.
