Tiffin City Schools

The Tiffin City Schools district in Ohio consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some socioeconomic diversity as indicated by the range in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools.

Tiffin Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Ohio middle schools and maintaining strong academic results, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, the Tornado Academy alternative school struggles academically but compensates with a high 4-year graduation rate, suggesting it effectively supports students to complete their high school education.

While the district generally performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, there are areas for improvement, such as the low proficiency rates in Geometry across the schools. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Columbian High School, present a concern that could negatively impact student achievement. By addressing these challenges and leveraging the strengths of high-performing schools like Krout 2-3 Elementary, the Tiffin City Schools district can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all its students.
