Summary:
The 45120 zip code area is home to three schools operated by the Felicity-Franklin Local school district: Felicity-Franklin Local Elementary School, Felicity-Franklin Local High School, and Felicity-Franklin Local Middle School. The elementary school stands out as the highest-performing, with consistently strong academic results and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking it among the top 25% of elementary schools in Ohio.
In contrast, the high school and middle school appear to be struggling academically, with test scores below the state averages and lower SchoolDigger rankings. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all three schools, ranging from 30.4% to 38.6%, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges. Additionally, the significant differences in free/reduced lunch eligibility rates between the schools suggest potential socioeconomic disparities within the district that may impact student outcomes.
The data highlights the need for a deeper examination of the Felicity-Franklin Local School District to understand the factors contributing to the performance gaps between the elementary school and the secondary schools, as well as to identify strategies for improving attendance, addressing socioeconomic challenges, and ensuring equitable distribution of resources to support student success across all grade levels.
