Best Public Schools in Zip Code 45805


Summary:

The 45805 zip code area in Ohio is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Heritage Elementary School and Maplewood Elementary School) and 1 middle school (Lima West Middle School). While the schools serve diverse student populations, Maplewood Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the top 25% of Ohio elementary schools and consistently achieving high test scores well above district and state averages.

The racial makeup of the student bodies varies significantly, with Maplewood Elementary having a predominantly white student population (85.55%), while Heritage Elementary and Lima West Middle serve more racially diverse communities (32-40% African American, 8-19% Hispanic/multiracial). This disparity raises questions about equity and access issues in the area.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge, especially at Lima West Middle (53.2%) and Heritage Elementary (33.4%), which likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest potential inequities in resource allocation across the Lima City and Shawnee Local school districts.
