Summary:
The 43734 zip code area is home to two schools - Duncan Falls Elementary School and Philo High School, both part of the Franklin Local district. These schools demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages in many subject areas. However, the student populations at both schools lack racial diversity, with over 95% of students identifying as white.
Academically, Duncan Falls Elementary stands out, with 60-70% proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science for 3rd-5th graders, outperforming the district and state. Philo High School also demonstrates high proficiency rates in end-of-course exams, particularly in subjects like American History, American Government, and Biology. However, Philo High School faces a concerning issue with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24%, which is an area that may require additional attention and intervention.
Despite the academic strengths, the lack of racial diversity in both schools is noteworthy, with over 95% of students identifying as white. This suggests the need for further investigation and potential efforts to promote a more diverse and inclusive student population. Additionally, the difference in free/reduced lunch eligibility between the two schools (41.62% at Duncan Falls Elementary vs. 33.48% at Philo High School) indicates some socioeconomic differences in the student populations, which could be an interesting area for further analysis.
