Summary:
Piqua, Ohio has six schools serving roughly 4,057 students: two elementary schools (grades K–3), two middle schools, and two high schools, with no alternative schools listed. Five of them — a combined 3,069 students — belong to the Piqua City district, while Upper Valley Career Center, the largest single school at 988 students, forms its own district. Data coverage is uneven: test scores are available for every school except Upper Valley Career Center, and free/reduced lunch is reported only for that school (39.47%), so socioeconomic comparisons between schools are not possible.
Among schools with outcome data, Piqua Junior High School is the clearest academic standout. Its Algebra I proficiency was 100% in 2025–2026 and 96.5% in 2024–2025, far above both the district and state, and its 7th- and 8th-grade math also beat state averages; it holds a 3-star rating. Piqua High School had 2025–2026 End-of-Course scores above state in every subject tested, including Algebra I at 67.1% versus the state's 61.6%, plus a 92.9% graduation rate. Washington Primary Elementary School is the stronger elementary, with the lowest chronic absenteeism in the district group (17.8%) and 2025–2026 math and reading scores above district averages, though still below state.
The data also flag real concerns. Springcreek Primary Elementary School saw 3rd-grade math drop from 62.6% to 39.3% in a year — now far below district and state — and its reading also fell and sits below both. Piqua High School has the highest chronic absenteeism of the Piqua City schools at 33.8%, 9.4 points above the district's 24.4%. Piqua Central Intermediate School's bright spot is 6th-grade math at 69.1%, above the state's 56.2%, but most of its other tested areas are below state. Upper Valley Career Center has no test, attendance, or graduation data here, so its performance cannot be judged. Spending figures are from 2018–2019 and are historical.
