SHADYSIDE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

What SHADYSIDE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Shadyside Local School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Ohio, serving students in the Shadyside community within Belmont County. The district operates three schools — Shadyside High School (grades 9-12), Leona Middle School (grades 5-8), and Jefferson Avenue Elementary School (K-4) — all located in Shadyside, Ohio, under the leadership of Superintendent John Haswell and an elected Board of Education. Leona Middle School has been designated a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School, and the district maintains historical identity assets including the Tiger mascot, the Fleming Field athletic facilities (named for NFL alumnus Don Fleming), and a high school campus whose main hallway dates to 1932.

The district's core technology layer is built on standard K-12 SaaS platforms: Progress Book for student information and grade tracking, PaySchool Systems (PaySchools Central) for fee payments and lunch account management, Apptegy for the district website and mobile applications, and Thrillshare for unified parent/student authentication and communication. The district also operates auxiliary services including athletics, cafeteria meal programs with publicly posted menus, and Title 1 instructional support at the elementary level.

The revenue model is government-funded: the district receives state and local tax revenue to provide tuition-free public education to district residents. Ancillary fees may apply for optional services such as school meals and student activities. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Enrollment is residency-based within the district's geographic boundaries, making this a single-geography public service operation rather than a market-driven enterprise.
