Summary:
The 44077 zip code area is home to 14 schools across three school districts, serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with the Riverside Local district generally outperforming the Painesville City Local district on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings.
The standout schools in the area include iSTEM, a high-performing high school ranked 54th out of 864 Ohio high schools, as well as Parkside Elementary and Melridge Elementary, which are the top-performing elementary schools in the 44077 zip code. Meanwhile, Henry F Lamuth Middle School is the highest-ranked middle school in the area. However, some schools, particularly in the Painesville City Local district, struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.
The data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes, with a wide achievement gap between the highest and lowest performing schools. Factors like funding, school leadership, and instructional practices appear to play a key role in student success, as the highest-spending schools are not necessarily the top performers. Addressing chronic absenteeism, particularly at the high school level, and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the 44077 zip code area will be crucial for improving overall school performance.
