Summary:
The 44656 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School and Tuscarawas Valley Primary) and 1 middle/high school (Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School) - all part of the Tuscarawas Valley Local district. The standout performer is Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School, which consistently ranks in the top 20% of Ohio high schools and exceeds state averages in most subjects. The school also boasts an impressive 94.6% 4-year graduation rate. In contrast, the elementary schools face higher chronic absenteeism rates, with Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School performing better than Tuscarawas Valley Primary.
Demographically, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with minority representation limited to less than 2% of the student body. This lack of diversity may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives. Socioeconomically, a significant percentage of students across the district are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 31.12% at the middle/high school to 36.78% at the primary school, indicating potential challenges that could impact student learning and achievement.
The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests differences in resource allocation and prioritization within the district. While Tuscarawas Valley Middle-High School excels academically, the higher chronic absenteeism rates at the other schools may be a concern and warrant further investigation into factors contributing to excessive absences.
