Talawanda City

The Talawanda City school district in Ohio consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools show a mix of high-performing and average-performing institutions, with Talawanda High School and Talawanda Middle School standing out as the strongest performers.

Talawanda High School is the top-performing school in the district, ranking 242 out of 864 Ohio high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 98.1% four-year graduation rate and consistently high academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average on Ohio State Tests across multiple subjects. In contrast, the three elementary schools in the district show more varied performance, with Kramer Elementary and Maude Marshall Elementary generally outperforming Bogan Elementary.

The district also faces some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% at Maude Marshall Elementary to 26.9% at Talawanda Middle School. Additionally, the student populations in the Talawanda City schools are predominantly white, with relatively low percentages of students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. Ensuring equitable access and opportunities for all students, regardless of their background, could be an area for the district to focus on improving.
