Summary:
The 45144 zip code is home to two schools: Manchester High School and Manchester Elementary School, both part of the Manchester Local district. While the elementary school performs better on state tests, both schools face challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and inconsistent academic performance compared to state averages.
Manchester High School, with an enrollment of 352 students, has a predominantly white student population (96.88%) and consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio high schools. Its graduation rate of 91.7% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.7% is higher than the state average. In contrast, Manchester Elementary School, with a 97.7% white student population, has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between the 673rd and 841st out of 1,577 to 1,596 Ohio elementary schools over the past 3 years, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4% is significantly higher than the state average.
Both schools have relatively high student-teacher ratios, with Manchester High at 15.3 and Manchester Elementary at 17.4, suggesting that resources may not be optimally allocated to support student learning. While Manchester Elementary School students generally perform better on state tests than their high school counterparts, the overall academic performance of both schools is mixed, with the high school's low statewide ranking and below-average proficiency rates in several subjects indicating room for improvement.
