Summary:
The city of Sarahsville, Ohio is home to two schools: Shenandoah Elementary School and Shenandoah High School, both part of the Noble Local school district. While Shenandoah Elementary consistently ranks in the top half of Ohio elementary schools, Shenandoah High School has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years.
Shenandoah Elementary School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, with students performing above the state average in science, math, and English language arts. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2%. In contrast, Shenandoah High School has a lower 2-star rating and has seen its ranking drop from 471 out of 867 Ohio high schools in 2022-2023 to 516 out of 855 in 2024-2025.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While Shenandoah High School spends significantly more per student ($21,720) compared to Shenandoah Elementary ($15,024), the district may need to re-evaluate resource allocation to ensure equitable funding and support across all grade levels. Addressing the chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state's goal, could also be an important focus area for the district to improve student engagement and academic outcomes.
