Miami East Local

The Miami East Local school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Miami East Elementary, Miami East High School, and Miami East Junior High School. The district is known for its academic excellence, with all three schools consistently ranking among the top 15-20% of their respective school types in Ohio.

Miami East High School stands out as a top performer, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 5% of high schools in Ohio. The school boasts impressive test scores, with 85% or more of students proficient or better in subjects like American Government, American History, Biology, and English II. Additionally, the school maintains a very high 4-year graduation rate of 98.2%. Miami East Elementary is another high-performing school, ranking in the top 15% of Ohio elementary schools and excelling in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 80% or more of students scoring proficient or better across all grade levels.

While the district as a whole demonstrates academic excellence, there are some areas of concern. The significant disparity in free/reduced lunch rates between the junior high school (45.25%) and the high school (8.58%) may indicate potential equity issues within the district. Additionally, the junior high school has the highest chronic absenteeism rate (13.3%) and the lowest test scores compared to the elementary and high schools, suggesting that the transition to middle school presents unique challenges for students that the district may need to address.
