Mathews Local

The Mathews Local school district in Ohio comprises four schools: two elementary schools (Baker Elementary and Currie Elementary), one middle school (Mathews Junior High School), and one high school (Mathews High School). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some challenges in terms of socioeconomic factors and academic performance at the middle school level.

Mathews High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming state and district averages on state tests and boasting an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Mathews Junior High School struggles with lower proficiency rates in mathematics, particularly in 8th grade, suggesting a need for targeted interventions. Baker Elementary also excels, with strong performance on state tests in science, mathematics, and English language arts.

The district faces socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 40.1% at Mathews High School to 54.69% at Baker Elementary. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity in the district may present challenges in fostering an inclusive learning environment for all students. Overall, the Mathews Local school district has both strengths and areas for improvement, which will require strategic planning and resource allocation to address the diverse needs of its student population.
