Summary:
The 44146 zip code area in Ohio is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Bedford City School District. While the district is ranked 613 out of 839 in Ohio and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Heskett Middle School stands out for its high proficiency rates on state tests, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, where over 90% of students are proficient or better, far exceeding the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Columbus Intermediate School boasts the highest English Language Arts proficiency rates in grades 3-5 across the district. However, the Excel alternative school struggles, with a very low 4-year graduation rate of just 30.8%, compared to 87.1% at Bedford High School.
Across the district, the schools face significant challenges, including high rates of African American students, high free/reduced lunch eligibility, and chronic absenteeism. Test scores are generally low, with most schools performing well below state averages, particularly in math. The district also shows disparities in per-student spending, ranging from $9,356 to $12,535 per student. Addressing these issues, from attendance to resource allocation, will be crucial for the Bedford City School District to improve outcomes for all students in the 44146 zip code area.
