Summary:
The 43123 zip code area is home to 16 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the South-Western City School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 538 out of 839 in Ohio and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools within the area shine, including Buckeye Woods Elementary School, which ranks 112 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools and has a 5-star rating, and Jackson Middle School, which ranks 144 out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools and has a 4-star rating.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly in test scores, suggesting that students in the district may not be receiving an equitable education. There also appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic outcomes, with the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism.
At the high school level, Grove City High School stands out with a strong 91.8% four-year graduation rate and good test scores, while Central Crossing High School has a 90.0% graduation rate. However, the high schools in the district still have room for improvement, with test scores and graduation rates that lag behind the state averages.
