Summary:
The Northwest Local school district in Ohio consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district's standout school is Northwest High School, which ranks 226 out of 864 Ohio high schools and boasts a 96.1% four-year graduation rate. The high school also excels in state testing, with over 80% proficiency in American Government, American History, and Biology.
Northwest Elementary School consistently ranks in the top half of Ohio elementary schools and outperforms state and district averages on several state test metrics, including 5th grade Science and 4th/5th grade Math. In contrast, Northwest Middle School struggles, with 6th and 8th grade Math proficiency below 50% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.7%.
Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 97.28% to 97.62%. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to address. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school ($10,498) compared to the elementary ($9,029) and middle ($9,383) schools suggests the district may be prioritizing resources at the high school level, which could be an opportunity for more equitable funding and resource distribution.
