Summary:
Adena, Ohio has just one listed school — Buckeye West Elementary School — an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 172 students, and it belongs to the Buckeye Local district. Because there is only one school in the city, families here are choosing between this school and options outside the district rather than comparing several schools within Adena.
Buckeye West's clearest strength is Grade 3 English language arts, where 80% of students scored proficient in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 — 16.6 points above the state. Grade 5 also improved sharply: math rose from 40.9% to 69.2% and ELA from 59.1% to 69.2%, both now above district averages and near or above state averages. Attendance is another relative plus: chronic absenteeism is 27.0%, well below the district's 39.5%, though more than one in four students is still chronically absent. The school's statewide rank has edged up from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 42nd in 2025–2026, but it remains a 2-star school below the median.
Grade 4 is the weakest spot: 45% proficient in both math and ELA, which is 13.0 points below the district and 22.3 points below the state in math, and 23.2 points below the district in ELA. Grade 5 science dropped 16.0 points to 38.5%, far behind both the district and the state. Across all seven listed tests, the school averaged about 59.3% in 2025–2026, below the district's 62.5% and the state's 63.8%. Note that with only 172 students, small groups can swing percentages sharply from year to year.
