Summary:
The 43943 zip code area is home to two schools - Buckeye Local High School and Buckeye Local Junior High. While both schools serve the same community, the data suggests that the junior high is the stronger performer of the two, with higher state rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
The Buckeye Local junior high school outperforms the state averages on several key metrics, including 8th grade science, 7th grade math, and 7th grade English language arts. In contrast, the high school lags behind state averages on most test score metrics and has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 46.1%, significantly higher than the junior high's 50.5%. This suggests the junior high may be providing a more effective educational environment for its students.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. Additionally, more than 50% of students at each school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged student population. The district should continue to monitor these factors and ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
