Western Brown Local

The Western Brown Local school district in Ohio comprises four schools: two elementary schools (Mt Orab Primary Elementary School and Hamersville Elementary School), one middle school (Mt Orab Middle School), and one high school (Western Brown High School).

Hamersville Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasting the highest test scores across most grade levels and subject areas, often exceeding 70% or even 80% proficiency in subjects like Science, Math, and English Language Arts. In contrast, Western Brown High School has relatively lower test scores, with the lowest proficiency rates in Geometry and Algebra I compared to the district and state averages.

While the district's four-year graduation rate at Western Brown High School is a positive indicator at 94.1%, the chronic absenteeism rates across all schools range from 20.4% at Mt Orab Middle School to 24.1% at Western Brown High School, which are relatively high compared to the state average. Additionally, the significant differences in free/reduced lunch rates between the elementary and high school suggest potential socioeconomic disparities within the district.
