Summary:
The 44431 zip code is home to two schools, Leetonia Elementary K-6 and Leetonia Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Leetonia Exempted Village School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 219 out of 839 in Ohio and has a 4-star rating, the elementary school stands out as the clear academic standout in the area.
Leetonia Elementary K-6 boasts consistently high performance on state tests, with the majority of grades scoring well above the state average in both math and English language arts. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 86.8% is also significantly higher than the state average of 64%. Additionally, the elementary school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9%, compared to the 41.3% rate at the junior/senior high school.
In contrast, while Leetonia Junior/Senior High School still performs better than the state average in some areas, it lags behind the elementary school in overall academic achievement. This suggests a potential need to examine the transition from elementary to secondary education and identify ways to maintain the strong performance seen at the elementary level. Addressing the significant difference in chronic absenteeism rates between the two schools may also be a key lever for improving academic outcomes at the secondary level.
