Summary:
Circleville, Ohio, a small city in Pickaway County, is served by six schools across three systems — Circleville City (three schools), Logan Elm Local (two) and Buckeye United School District (one specialized setting) — enrolling about 3,935 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Logan Elm Local is the clear standout: rated 3 stars and 60th percentile, its schools rank 64th–68th percentile, compared with 25th–35th for Circleville City. Logan Elm Elementary School has the strongest overall profile — 3 stars, 64th percentile, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 13.8%, and above-state results in 5th-grade Science (84.9%), 4th-grade Math (78.6%) and 5th-grade ELA (79.4%). Logan Elm Middle/High School posts the best secondary outcomes, with a 96.6% graduation rate plus Biology at 92.1% and Algebra I at 84.8%, though Geometry (29.8%) and middle-grade math lag well below state averages.
Circleville City schools rate lower — Circleville Elementary School and Circleville Middle School at 2 stars, Circleville High School at 1 star — but have bright spots, including Circleville Middle's Algebra I at 100% and Circleville High's 95.7% graduation rate and 74.6% American History score. Chronic absenteeism is highest at the high schools: 26.9% at Circleville High and 23.2% at Logan Elm Middle/High. Ralph C Starkey (Cjcf) is a specialized 108-student setting with a 6:1 student-teacher ratio and no current academic data, so it is not comparable. Keep in mind that Circleville City free/reduced-lunch figures are not reported, spending data is from 2018–2019 only, and several 100% scores likely reflect small cohorts rather than schoolwide results.
