Summary:
The 43015 zip code area is home to 12 schools spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades across three different school districts: Delaware City, Olentangy Local, and Buckeye Valley Local. While the area boasts several standout schools, such as Olentangy Berlin High School and Cheshire Elementary, there is also a stark contrast in performance, with some schools struggling with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.
The data reveals a strong correlation between socioeconomic factors, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic outcomes. Schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch rates, like Olentangy Berlin High School and Cheshire Elementary, tend to have the highest test scores and graduation rates, while those with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Laura Woodward Elementary and James Conger Elementary, struggle with lower academic performance.
The data also highlights the importance of middle school preparation, as the strong performance of schools like Buckeye Valley Local Middle School and John C Dempsey Middle School suggests that they are effectively preparing students for success in high school. This foundation laid in middle school likely contributes to the high achievement of the top-performing high schools in the area, such as Olentangy Berlin High School.
