Summary:
The 45662 zip code area is home to 4 elementary schools serving students in grades K-5: Portsmouth Elementary, Clay Elementary School, East Portsmouth Elementary, and Stanton Primary Elementary School. While the schools share a geographic location, their academic performance and other key metrics vary significantly.
Clay Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking 625 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms state and Clay Local district averages in most subject areas, particularly in 3rd and 5th-grade math and 5th-grade science. In contrast, East Portsmouth Elementary struggles the most, with several grades and subjects falling well below the state and Portsmouth City district averages.
Chronic absenteeism appears to be a significant issue, with East Portsmouth Elementary reporting the highest rate at 38.3%, and Stanton Primary Elementary School and Clay Elementary School also experiencing relatively high rates of 30.8% and 22.1%, respectively. This suggests a potential correlation between student attendance and academic achievement. Additionally, the data reveals variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, but these factors do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering other factors that contribute to student success.
