Summary:
The 43821 zip code area is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Tri-Valley High School, Dresden Elementary School, and Tri-Valley Middle School. These schools, which are part of the Tri-Valley Local School District, demonstrate a consistent level of academic excellence, with Tri-Valley High School ranking among the top 25-30% of Ohio high schools and achieving strong test scores well above the state averages.
Dresden Elementary School also stands out, ranking 427 out of 1,577 Ohio elementary schools and boasting impressive academic performance, with 85.2% proficiency in 5th grade Science and over 80% proficiency in 4th and 5th grade Math. The schools in this area have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 91.39% to 91.7%, which may be an area for the district to examine and consider ways to better reflect the broader community demographics.
While the schools in the 43821 zip code area demonstrate strong academic performance, they also face challenges with attendance, as the chronic absenteeism rates at all three schools are higher than the desired 10% target. Additionally, the per-student spending varies by over $1,000 between the elementary and high school levels, which may contribute to differences in resources and educational opportunities available to students. Addressing these areas could help the district provide a more consistent and equitable educational experience for all students.
