Summary:
Byesville, Ohio has three public schools — one elementary, one middle, and one high school — all part of the Rolling Hills Local district, together enrolling 1,114 students across grades PK–12. The district itself ranks 531 of 773 in Ohio, a 31st-percentile placement with 2 stars.
Among the three, Meadowbrook Middle School is currently the strongest by overall ranking: 557 of 1,046, or the 47th percentile, with 2 stars. Its Algebra I End-of-Course result is 100% proficient for a second consecutive year, and 8th-grade math (63.7%) sits 11.7 percentage points above the state. Meadowbrook High School made the biggest improvement, gaining 126 ranks and 11 percentile points to reach 40th percentile and 2 stars, with a 98.5% graduation rate. It outperforms the state in American Government (80.3% vs. 71.6%), American History (82.7% vs. 73.2%), and English II (69.1% vs. 62.7%), but Geometry (26.4%) and Algebra I (43.9%) fall well short. Meadowbrook Elementary School ranks lowest at 29th percentile with 1 star, yet has the best attendance and 3rd-grade math at 65.0%, slightly above the state.
Chronic absenteeism climbs with grade level — 18.5% in elementary, 24.7% in middle, and 28.0% in high school, against a district rate of 22.5%. Elementary reading is the area's biggest academic worry, with 4th-grade ELA 23.6 points below the state and 5th-grade ELA 21.7 points below. Notably, the high school has the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.9) and highest per-student spending ($9,852) but still struggles in math, while the elementary school has the highest ratio (24.6) and the lowest spending ($9,108). Free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported for 2024–2025, so that measure cannot be compared across these schools.
