Summary:
The 43315 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (1 public and 1 public charter). While the Cardington-Lincoln Elementary School and Cardington-Lincoln High School generally perform at or above state averages, the Tomorrow Center charter high school lags far behind, with very low test scores and a concerning 69% 4-year graduation rate.
The Cardington-Lincoln Middle School stands out as the highest performing school in the area, ranking in the top 50% of Ohio middle schools for the past 3 years. It has strong test scores, particularly in 8th grade science and math, where proficiency rates exceed the state averages. In contrast, the Tomorrow Center charter school has the lowest statewide ranking of the schools, with a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Across the schools, there are high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, ranging from 45% at the elementary school to over 80% at the high school level. This, coupled with the low performance of the Tomorrow Center charter school, suggests potential equity issues in educational opportunities for economically disadvantaged students in this area. Additionally, high rates of chronic absenteeism, especially at Tomorrow Center, are concerning and likely contribute to the lower academic outcomes at those schools.
