Summary:
The 43344 zip code area is home to three schools - North Union Elementary School, North Union High School, and North Union Middle School - all part of the North Union Local School District. While the district as a whole performs reasonably well, with all three schools earning 3-4 star ratings, the middle school stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the top 30% of Ohio middle schools.
North Union Middle School's academic performance, particularly in 8th grade science and math, is significantly above the state averages. In contrast, North Union Elementary School is the lowest performing of the three, ranking in the bottom 40% of Ohio elementary schools, though it has some bright spots like high 5th grade science proficiency. North Union High School also performs well, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio high schools, with a strong 96.4% 4-year graduation rate, though its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the elementary and middle school.
Across the district, the student populations are predominantly white, ranging from 94.89% at the elementary school to 97.89% at the high school. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to examine and address. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at the high school level, are a concern and could be impacting academic performance, suggesting the district may need to investigate the root causes and implement strategies to improve attendance.
