Summary:
The 45693 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. While the schools in this area share some similarities, there are notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.
West Union Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, with relatively high test scores, particularly in 5th grade science and math, and a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the two high schools, West Union High School and Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center, have lower proficiency rates across many subject areas and grade levels compared to state averages, with West Union High School's four-year graduation rate also falling below the state average.
The schools in the 45693 zip code area also share a lack of racial diversity, with a predominantly white student population ranging from 96.47% to 96.65% across the 3 schools. This lack of diversity may limit students' exposure to different backgrounds and perspectives. Additionally, the high schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which could be a contributing factor to their lower academic performance. However, the presence of the Ohio Valley Career & Technical Center provides students with access to specialized vocational and technical education opportunities, offering a valuable pathway for those interested in career-oriented programs.
