Among the standout schools in the district is Talawanda High School, which is ranked 242 out of 864 Ohio high schools and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high graduation rate of 98.1% and outperforms the state average on Ohio State Tests across multiple subjects, including American Government, American History, and English II.

However, the data also reveals some potential equity concerns, as the elementary schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have lower test scores compared to the other elementary schools. Additionally, the district as a whole faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.4% to 26.9%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. The schools in the district also have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority students, suggesting a need to explore ways to promote greater racial diversity and inclusion.
