Summary:

Logan, Ohio, a small city in southeastern Ohio, is home to seven schools on this list — five elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school — together serving about 3,275 students across grades PK–12. Six of the seven belong to Logan-Hocking Local, a district ranked 151st of 773 in Ohio (80th percentile, 4 stars). The seventh, Southeast Ohio Classical Academy, is a standalone K–7 school of 95 students whose district ranks 502nd of 773 (35th percentile, 2 stars). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for every school, so they can't be compared here.

The elementary schools are the area's strength. Central Elementary School is the clear standout: 31st of 1,560 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), with 98.4% proficiency in 3rd-grade ELA, 98.5% in 4th-grade math, 95.4% in 4th-grade ELA, and 84.1% in 3rd-grade math — all while spending the least listed per student ($7,023) and holding chronic absenteeism to 15.6%, below the district's 22.9%. Chieftain Elementary School (94th percentile, 5 stars) has the second-lowest absenteeism at 12.2%, and Green Elementary School (86th percentile, 4 stars, absenteeism 11.9%) is steadily improving despite the largest classes (19.3 students per teacher). Hocking Hills Elementary School, with only 123 students, posts 92.6% in 4th-grade math and 84.2% in 3rd-grade ELA, but its chronic absenteeism is 25.4%.

The older grades are more mixed. Logan-Hocking Middle School (1,008 students) has climbed from the 47th to the 57th percentile, with 100% Algebra I proficiency but weak 5th- and 6th-grade math. Logan High School graduates 97% of its students yet has slipped to the 36th percentile, with Geometry at 39.4% (state: 43.3%) and the highest absenteeism in the list at 30.6%. Southeast Ohio Classical Academy shows strong early ELA and 4th-grade math but weak Science 5 (31.8% vs. 62.7% state) and Math 6 (29.4% vs. 56.2% state). Overall, this is a district with a strong elementary foundation, an improving middle school, and a high school that needs attention.
