Summary:
The 44202 zip code area is home to 5 high-performing schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The standout institutions in this area are Aurora High School and Harmon Middle School, both of which are ranked among the top 30 schools in their respective categories in Ohio and boast exceptional academic outcomes.
Aurora High School is particularly impressive, ranking 30th out of 864 Ohio high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. It consistently achieves 80-90% proficiency rates across core subjects and maintains a remarkable 99.2% 4-year graduation rate. Harmon Middle School also stands out, ranking 30th out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools and demonstrating strong performance in math, English, and science, with 100% of its students proficient in Geometry and Algebra I.
The schools in this Aurora City district serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with 75-80% White students and 7-12% Asian students. While the schools have access to significant resources, as evidenced by their high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, there are some concerns about equity, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch is quite low across the district. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate at Miller Elementary, at 14.8%, stands out as an area for potential improvement.
