The schools in the 43334 zip code area serve students from preschool through 12th grade, with three institutions: Highland Elementary School, Highland High School, and Highland Middle School. These schools, part of the Highland Local district, demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.
Highland Elementary School stands out with consistently high test scores, with 3rd-5th grade students performing significantly above the state average in Math and English Language Arts. The school also boasts an impressive 66.7% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. In contrast, Highland High School lags the state in Geometry and Algebra I proficiency, indicating a need to strengthen the curriculum and instruction at the high school level.
Highland Middle School impresses with its 100% proficiency rate on end-of-course exams in Geometry and Algebra I, as well as strong 8th grade Science scores, with 80.3% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 62.1%. However, the middle school's performance on grade-level state tests is more mixed, with some areas, like 7th grade Math, falling behind the state average. This variability in middle school performance suggests an opportunity for the district to further enhance the curriculum and teaching methods at this critical stage of a student's education.
