Summary:
The 45356 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, with varying rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. While the schools generally perform above the state average on standardized tests, there are some notable disparities in academic outcomes and areas for improvement.
The Upper Valley Career Center high school stands out with its high percentage of white students (93.08%) and relatively low free/reduced lunch rate (32.53%), as well as a lower student-teacher ratio of 17.5. In contrast, Piqua High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.6%, despite its strong performance on state tests. The Piqua Central Intermediate School middle school also shows promising results, with high proficiency rates in 5th-grade Science and 4th-grade Math.
Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rates at the high schools and middle schools, and the disparities in test scores, particularly in 8th-grade Math at Piqua Junior High School. Additionally, the data suggests that higher spending per student, as seen at Washington Primary Elementary School, does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Overall, the schools in the 45356 zip code area present a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, providing valuable insights for parents and educators to consider.
