Summary:
The Yellow Springs Exempted Village school district is home to two strong-performing schools, Yellow Springs/McKinney High School and Mills Lawn Elementary School, which consistently outperform state averages on Ohio state assessments and maintain high rankings within the state.
Yellow Springs/McKinney High School stands out with a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger and a 96.8% 4-year graduation rate, while Mills Lawn Elementary School excels in math performance, with over 80% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scoring proficient or better on state assessments. Both schools demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence and diversity, with significant percentages of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds.
However, the district faces challenges, such as relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the presence of socioeconomic challenges within the community. The district's focus on continuous improvement and its ability to provide a high-quality education for all students, despite these obstacles, is a testament to the dedication of the schools and the community they serve.
